Just wondering why you chose to use white candy melts instead of blue ones. I would think that using a similar base color would help reduce the amount of disco dust or luster dust needed to achieve the final color/effect. Or perhaps you've already tried it, and the final color is better or brighter on the white background?
The way it is actually done is that you mix vodka with some of the luster dust to create a kind of food paint. Then you paint it onto the cake ball. You can also use water if you want. This is much easier than painting water onto the ball the dusting it before the water dries. Hope this helps save you some time and trouble.
Thank you for sharing!! There are so many people out there that keep this to themselves although they would have found out through someone aswell. I share all my advice as a cake decorator and appreciate when others do as well!!!!
I'm pretty sure luster dust is the only one out of these that is edible. Only because I've heard in other people's tutorials call edible glitter like things "luster dust" The watermelon petal dust says in big black bold letters "NOT TO BE CONSUMED" I think that is a sign you shouldn't use it in your food.
Elizabeth San Juan But sadly, Angie promotes covering food in inedible craft glitter [disco dust], which violates FDA policies and leaves decorators who do the same vulnerable to problems with the state, the FDA, and possibly their own liability insurance providers. If it's going to be eaten, then EVERYTHING on it needs to be edible. Non-toxic NEVER equals edible.
The bedazzle my bonbons is the first introduction of disco dust on candy/cakeballs. And she rolls them in the dust then brushes them off. And yes you can eat the dust, because it is inert and will not break down in your stomach. Just like eating gold foil chocolates. We all know that Gold foil or dust is not a food, but a decorative treat on fancy gourmet chocolates, so it is the same thing.
Try using SOLID Crisco shortening (not butter flavored) softened at room temperature instead of water for the application of the "disco dust" it doesn't dry out like water does
These are beautiful! I always love working with Disco dust they make everything 100x more beautiful!! And it is widely used not only in America but around the world! Ps: have you read the ingredients in hot dogs??? Aaaaaaahhh!!!!!......lol!!!!!
+brownsugar222 there are a lot of manufactured items that contain things that we may not choose to eat. Once you find out you have the choice to not eat it. Do you really want to promote your business selling products that are not good for the human body. If someone does they do not deserve to be in the food industry.
+Marie Jones That's your opinion, who gave you the authority to make that judgement. The FDA approves plenty of foods that cause CANCER. Get off your high horse.
try an edible or food grade luster dust or metallic paint. Make sure it is edible NOT non toxic. non toxic is like eating crayon of course u could eat it but it isn't advised.
NOTE: JUST BECAUSE ITS NON TOXIC IT DOESN'T MAKE IT EDIBLE!!! DISCO DUST IS NOT MADE FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION!!!! YOU ARE FEEDING YOUR CLIENTS TINY PIECES OF PLASTIC. IT SHOULD ONLY BE USED ON DECORATIONS THAT WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE CAKE; GIVING YOUR CLIENTS A HEADS UP THAT IT SHOULDN'T BE CONSUMED!!!!
Hi I'm having trouble having the candy melt flow smoothly over the cake balls the chocolate is melted but when I don't the cake pop in it seems to be a little lumpy any suggestions? Thank you
Hello, you need to thin down the chocolate by using a product called "Paramount Crystals". You only need a little and you will quickly see your chocolate become thinner, smoother, and more workable. You can get this product anywhere they sell chocolate. I usually buy from Amazon or Global Sugar Art. Hope that helps.
Yes, I would think so as Paramount Crystals are just small slices of cocoa butter. Remember to melt down the crystals in the microwave before adding small amounts at a time to your chocolate.

DISCO DUST IS NOT EDIBLE!! This is a dangerous tutorial. Disco Dust is non-toxic - meaning it won't hurt you if you accidently ingest a little, but it is not made for eating! Especially not in this amount :/
Anybody read the ingredients on the food they eat? Tic tacs are made from carranuba wax (sp), which is the same thing we was our cars with....there are a lot of foods that are not MEANT for consumption but are used all the time, she told you the truth up front, it's a personal decision after that.
flintstonelh Carnauba wax IS A FOOD that was found to work well for polishing cars. Plastic is NOT a food. It is not a "personal decision" to serve plastic covered food to others. It's just wrong. There are NOT "lots of foods that are not meant for consumption". The FDA regulates food and considers adding plastic glitter to food adulteration and an actionable offense. Simple principle: If something is labeled "non-toxic" the IT'S NOT FOOD and it's not to be eaten.
Luster Dust/Disco IS edible.. it's like dragees.... technically for decorative purposes but people eat them all the time... same with ISOMALT... it's not going to harm you, but doesn't taste the best. You'd have to consume a LOT of luster dust to have any concern about it.
Using vodka or gin instead of water means it isn't sticky. Also, with having the parchment paper down, why don't you just wet it and sprinkle the glitter on. Will take far less time and then it can all be put back in the pot.
People keep saying disco dust is not edible, but no one is giving a reason beyond it is not FDA approved. There are a lot of things that we use that are not FDA approved. Can someone give a reason beyond "It's not FDA approved" as to why disco dust should not be eaten? I am just curious.
Hello! Your video was such a fun video, but I could not watch it and not say something about Disco or Luster Dust consumption. Disco and Luster dust are NOT meant for human consumption. Disco Dust is tiny bits of plastic ground into glitter sized pieces. Luster dust is the same ground into powder form. The products are labeled non-toxic, but they CANNOT be consumed without effect. After all, would you dip a cake pop in ground up crayons and then tell people that because crayons are non toxic, they can enjoy them without hesitation? Crayons are non-toxic as well as glue and so are many other things that are still NOT meant for human consumption. There is a reason that each container of disco dust and luster dust ALL post on their labels that each of these products is NOT meant for human consumption. At least let people know what Disco Dust and Luster Dust are made of before promoting a tutorial of a cake pop slathered in the material. There are several fantastic You Tube tutorials on how to make your own disco dust that are AWESOME! Take a moment and show that on a You Tube video to give both you and your followers a safer option for "sparkle and shine and shimmer."
pretty to look at but dont eat it lol. what about using edible gold leaf? the 24K stuff passes harmlessly though your system because its a non reactive metal.
that's exactly what disco dust does. You just get sparkly poop. One cake pop with a little glitter on it is not going to hurt anyone. Should it be consumed daily, weekly, monthly of course not. But on a special occasion like a wedding where you might eat one, maybe two., you'll surely live to see another day. You do more harm with alcohol you may drink than you do with a glitter pop.
well, I've been making and decorating cakes for almost 30 years, and I certainly wouldn't use those disco dusts on anything for consumption, but I must say that all of the lustre dusts I have used, have always been totally edible. Especially the more recently upto date one's, (although, a lot of them have been about for some years now)!!. But, whatever amount of these disco dusts used should NOT be for human consumption, they may look wonderful, but you must think about your customers well being, first and foremost !!.
Doesn't matter that it's non toxic--it's plastic and still not edible. Non toxic merely means that something will not likely cause an immediate toxic reaction or require a call to poison control. Craft glue, playdoh, white glue, sharpie markers, and silly putty are also non toxic--and should not be given to people to eat.
i'm confused… why would I use an item that CAN NOT be consumed??? Why wouldn't I just use edible dust. Also, instead of "painting with water", I would use a few drops of vodka mixed with the edible colored dust and paint THAT mixture onto the cake pop!
I hope you are not feeding these to people or selling them. It states on the container not to be consumed. If the people that make it state this how can you tell people it is okay to eat at your own risk?
Disco dust is fine grain CRAFT GLITTER. You can even see on the pot shown at the beginning of the video it says "For decorative use, only". That means IT'S NOT TO BE EATEN. Stop making excuses for COVERING FOOD IN PLASTIC. It's not as though people are peeling off the chocolate before consuming. Use an edible alternative like sanding sugar or gum arabic cake sparkles. How long do you think a big food chain would get away with sprinkling PLASTIC all over their food????

I hate when people do that or say somebody is copying them in my opinion I would be honored if somebody used my creations as inspiration
Perfect treat for my enemies. The platter will be half cake pops and half miniature Christmas ornaments. Roulette of desserts.
you can use luster dust a clear unflavored vodka. mix the two to make s slithly runny paste and apply color to it. It should have the same affect
Love them so cute, nice and shiny 👍😃 thank you for sharing!!
I always use Wilton candy melts. Although I do like Merckens also. I only use almond bark for chocolate coverd strawberrys or pretzels.

The stuff you make is so cool.
It says right on the label "Not to be consumed" ...
Opopsby Angie is definitely amazing!!

and it won't brush off afterwards? love it!
Petal dust is more color than shine! And Angie Ramos is indeed the creator of gem pops :)
Why is it black what kind of chocolate did u use it dried pretty fast and perfect
That is so cute and yummy
the container for the petal dust says do not consume
I knwo right! i was like "ummmmm...."
I knwo right! i was like "ummmmm...."
I would rather eat glitter/shimmer that is edible but not FDA approved than a mcdonalds meal that is considered both lol
good luck😉
1k ppl liked this vid because they liked the idea of feeding their enemies tiny bits of metal.
"DO NOT CONSUME" warning on petal dust. (3:51) . LOL.
Disco dust is not to be eaten. why do people keep using it on cakes and cookies.
did you use almond bark, merckens or wiltons chocolate?? which do you recommend??
Bellisimo!!!!me encanta!!!!
Love them

Okay.
What does FDA mean and are you going to make anymore videos like this cause you are so amazing
+Kendra Queen FDA= Food & Drug Administration Adding disco dust to food is deliberate adulteration and is subject to an FDA enforcement action.
Pretty sure it shouldn't be eaten, Disco Dust is finely ground plastic.
looks yummy
Could I use vodka/gin instead of water?
where is the company located it does snot say on their website
petal dusts do not have any shine..ever :) lusters, of course disco dust are perfect! u are amazing thanks for sharing
Buy disco or luster dust from globalart. Everything is edible and FDA approved.
is it eatable because the it is a blue paint
haha what?😂
How many pops can you make out of 1 jar of disco dust?
..."eat at your own risk."
Lol, so, DON'T EAT IT?!!! xD
Yeah, those weren't meant to be for consumption. But they make great decorations.
juill Lynn
lol, eat at your own risk
Can do the same procedure to strawberries

deon gordon Yes, but then you couldn't eat them because they'd be covered in inedible plastic glitter.........

Can you eat them?
it's non toxic but should not be eaten
Disco dust is not edible! .... It's pretty much grounded up plastic. And is for decoration only!

The last dust said petal dust not pearl dust that's why it came out like that
you should make your edible Glitter

Do not eat disco dust...I'm a cake decorator and there is a reason it's not FDA approved...this is very irresponsible of you to do this
thanks for the heads up

At ur own risk no thank u

The so-called pearl dust you used is clearly labeled Petal dust, not pearl dust. Perhaps if you actually tried pearl dust it would look better.
A time consuming mess.
