Sparkling and Glittering Magical Dust to Decorate Your Cakes and Cookies

Where to Use Edible Lustre Dust
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.
How to Use Edible Lustre Dust
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.
How to Store Edible Lustre Dust
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.
