One of the major reasons why cakes are loved by almost everyone across the globe is the options to customize them in hundreds of ways. Be it decorating them with frosting, edible sculptures, or an edible image, cakes can be personalized in various manners.
Similarly, one way to do it is by using luster dust cakes, or edible luster dust.
So what exactly is edible lustre dust? In simple words, it is just like decorative colorful luster dust, but it is absolutely edible and doesn't have any health consequences. With their sparkling and glittering particles, they serve as a unique addition to the decoration of a cake.
The Icinginks edible lustre dust, including our Sweet Sticks metallic lustre comes in various types with different colors, shades, and textures. These sparkling metallic luster dusts for cakes add a magical touch to all kinds of cakes, and cookies. You can sprinkle them on the edible art to add certain appealing effects or you can also use them as spray or paint by mixing water.
These Lustre Dusts are available in – Pink Diamond, Pearl White, Burnt Bronze, Champagne Gold, Banana Yellow, Charcoal, Pure Gold, Silver, Coral, Dark Rose, Fairy Floss Pink, Green Tea, Hot Pink, Ocean Blue, Mandarin Orange, and more.
These edible paints are quite easy to use and are 100% safe to consume. To make sure the occasion is memorable, decorate the cakes and other desserts with these food colors and paints by Icinginks.
The edible lustre has several applications apart from the cakes – you can use it to decorate on cupcakes, cookie toppers, and edible sculptures. However, before using the lustre, be sure that it is ‘non-toxic’ and ‘edible’. To use safe edible luster dust, select products that are FDA-approved and food-grade.
Using the edible lustre is quite easy and hassle-free. You can sprinkle it with your hand just the way you would sprinkle ordinary lustre. But do remember to put on safety gloves as these are edible ones. Another way is to mix it in edible gum and use a brush to apply on the edible surface. Mixing the lustre with water is not recommended because most of the edible lustre is water-insoluble.
Edible Lustre including Metallic Lustre dust for cakes, can stay fresh for long if stored in a cool, dark place. Avoid storing it in containers near electronic appliances or under direct sunlight. Moisture is the biggest threat to lustre dust, so always keep the lid tightly sealed between uses and avoid dipping a wet or damp brush directly into the container, as this can cause the powder to clump and lose its shine over time. If you're using a small amount for a spray or paint mix, it's best to transfer just what you need into a separate dish rather than introducing water into the main container. Stored properly, most edible lustre dust, including Sweet Sticks metallic lustre, can retain its color and sparkle for months, making it a worthwhile addition to keep on hand for future cakes, cookies, and cupcakes.
