Cake Decorating 101: Gold Dust

[BubblezLuffU]

your work is amazing :)

[tonedna1]

@BubblezLuffU Thanks!

[allformybaby1]

Edina, I notice that when i apply my gold, it streaks and doesnt give me that creamy consistency. Do you want for your fondant to dry?

[tonedna1]

@allformybaby1 Add less lemon extract to it. Make sure you have a good quaity gold.

Hello Edna I am from Saudia Arabia, really like your work it is amazing and I have my own business from home but unfortunately we dont have all the supplies like the US so please can you tell me what is the best Air brush device and the best powder dust pearl colors which brand for these is the best cos will order them from the Net, so please I need your reply as soon as possible. I need a tutorial for Wilton tool set, I know only how to use 2 of them & I need a gum past figure tutorial. Love

[tonedna1]

@MaherUra I am not sure if the wattage over there is comptible with USA. But the ones I love I have in my website under the store link

[chataboutcakes]

Hello Edna how can we get your DVD's for the UK, Helen

[tonedna1]

@chataboutcakes Yes you can!!

[lynnipooc]

which one would you use for a gold royal icing decor? I bought the gold highlighter but I am not sure if I should use it in royal icing to get the gold color i need.

[tonedna1]

@lynnipooc It works great with royal Icing, Paint it once its dry

[jevillafu1]

Edna, que usas para pegar el dust?

[tonedna1]

@jevillafu1 Vodka o extracto de limon



[jevillafu1]

Edna, que usas para pegar el dust?

[Zarabakes]

Thank You for this wonderful tutorial Edna. Can you please tell me how professionals achieve that pearl hue on their fondant? when the entire cake is covered with pearl looking fondant? do they add pearl dust to their fondant before covering the paint? Thank You in advance.

[tonedna1]

@Zarabakes You can airbrush it!

[MsGnorts]

Edan, you make beautiful gumpaste flowers!

I have a question: DO you know where I can buy those little plastic petal dust containers? I mean empty.

[tonedna1]

@MsGnorts Check Walmart in the area of jewelry.

[MsMayshe]

Edna como puedo pintar si quiero hacer un drapeado con fondant puedo usar el gold dust para pintar la masa o pintarla despues me puedes ayudar

[tonedna1]

@MsMayshe Que tienes que pintar?

[MsMayshe]

@MsMayshe EDNA lo que quiero que sea dorado es el drapeado con fondant que cae de la torta osea como una tela que tiene dobleces como un detalle lo que nose es como se hace que el fondant sea dorado si tenirlo todo antes de estirar el fondant o si pintarlo cuando esta la tela hecha si este dust se puede usar y si es comestible o hay una tecnica para hacer fondant dorado

[tonedna1]

@MsMayshe lo puedes pintar despues de puesto, pero tendria que ser a mano

[THECAKEPIPER]

not enough space for all of the compliments you've earned...thx u SO much for the wonderful help!

can u tell me...is it possible to paint gumpaste/fondant designs (ropes, pearls etc.) prior to placing them on the cake or must it be done after being 'glued' on?

thxs in advance:)))

[tonedna1]

@THECAKEPIPER It's a matter of preference.

[1028ben1]

Hi Edna, Can you tell me the price and the details of you DVD ? pastryben

[tonedna1]

@1028ben1 They are all in my website under the store link. There is a section where you see the DVD's

[sammy4983]

Hi Edna,

You are so beautiful and talented. I love your tutorials, very precise you will make a great teacher. I have a cake to do with scrolls all over 5 tiers, square cakes. The scrolls has to be a goldish copper color. Can I add to the buttercream or do I have to paint it on ? Also where do I get the powder to buy ? Thanks in advance for your help !! :)

[tonedna1]

@sammy4983 Check global sugar art, they might have it. I might add them to my website soon. It wont color the buttercream. needs to be painted. It will shade it but you would need lots and would loose the shimmer

[rareyellowdiamond]

hi edna can i ask u how do you make drapes if u can make a tutorial covering that i would be so happy as i love what you did for your wedding cake white on white with the diamonte flower it is amazing i love the simple elegancey of it.

[BirdOfParadise777]

I love the color of the flowers on the first cake. What color did you use on the top petals? Thank you so much Edna! You are a real life-saver, you save us so much money! All of the time and gas that it would take us to run back and forth from store to store to try again and again to find just what we need! It is even worse trying to order over the internet- sometimes it is a bad picture and sometimes it is the way our monitor is set for color! I so love each and everyone of your videos!

Hello Edna,

I would love to take classes like the ones you give, but I cant find a good place here in Tampa FL

Do you know of any near by or in Tampa? Thanks

[tonedna1]

I wish I could help. I have no idea about people in Tampa. Check pn Craft Stores or see if there is a cake store that might be able to tell you about classes.

Edna

[1marthaveronica]

[dithbmine1]

Devastatingly  beautiful...

[nivia91]

If you could do the downloads that would be awesome! Hope you are able to one day :)

[tonedna1]

Yeah..I just have to figure how is done. But I want to find out more info on that. I know I have a lot of people from Europe with that same problem. And the post office can get really expensive. Hopefully in the next year I can figure it out.

Edna :)

[PurthePoohBear]

Thanks Edna, as always u are so helpful and informative. Infact I was planning to take a trip to the store to get some gold and silver..Just perfect timing for the tutorial.

[nivia91]

Very helpful information Edna. Thank you for sharing. I would love to buy your dvds but unfortunately just the postage is too much plus the tax that I have to pay when it arrives to Europe.

Thank you once again for the information

[tonedna1]

Yeah, I agree!..The postage to Europe is sky high!..At some point I will find out how to work with Downloads over the internet. I havent gone that far yet.

Edna :)
