Using a Culinary Stencil with Lustre Dust

Using this technique I made a beautiful corset for a cake and I got a lot of e-mails asking me how I did it, so here I share my method

@TheEllaHunt Got it from a stencil place...just do a search for Culinary Stencils because I just forgot where I got it. sorry, but thanks for letting me know it helped. (the place has wall stencils and food grade stencils if that helps. one of the other videos has the info I think..)

@3poppyseeds not a problem. you can ask me anything.

@ThePastryDiva Thanks for your help.

@3poppyseeds , it will not really smear but if you are going to rub it hard of course it will. the thin layer of shortening will keep it mostly in place. If it smears a little you can take a little white alcohol like gin or vodka on the tip of a q tip and wipe it off.

@ThePastryDiva Will the dust smear after I am done?

@3poppyseeds Hi, you can apply to the sides of the cake as well, just make sure that you decorate one layer at a time, in other words don't stack until your done or the powder will go all over the place. Decorate then stack.  Hope this helps.

Do you apply to the sides of a fondant covered cake as well, and does the dust smear if you do this?

@jennydagreat , Hi, first of all thank you for commenting and it's a brush that I got from Cal Java. They are a cake supply company in California. They used to give it away as a promotional item but I don't know if they still do that or you have to order it. you can also use a big fluffy make up brush ( a good one) but I find I waste a lot of powder using one of those.
