Reply to "All that Glitters is Gold!"

So far I have tried the following options (as I simply love glitter in all kinds):

 

- ready bought edible paint from Rainbow Dust. It comes in small bottles to be painted on with a brush. Pretty neat results, but kind of expensive, at least in Germany. And... see next point.

 

- Lustre dust from Rainbow Dust, edible silk range. It can be applied dry for a light shimmer. Or mixed with clear alcohol and will then be exactly like the ready bought paint - only a lot cheaper and it is more easy to control the quantity and required thickness. More alcohol = semi-translucent. Less alcohol = high coverage. Love the stuff

 

- Lustre dust from Rainbow Dust, sparkle range. Those have tiny glitter particles included and I find it almost impossible to paint with them. But they work fine if sprinkled over fresh icing, or if an uneven look is required.

 

- Glitter sugar, which is no good to paint with, of course. But it can be sprinkled over fresh icing and also gives a gorgeous effect plus additional structure. You can also make it yourself by adding silever/gold color (either ready bought or self mixed) to fine sugar, just a few drops. There are instructions how to make glitter sugar flying around the net.

 

I haven't tried edible foil yet, nor airbrush, but I guess you can create nice effects with them too. And I would be highly interested in other options to get glitter on cookies as well! Nice topic
