Thanks, everyone! This really helps a lot ) Also, for example in this picture, are the stars made from fondant? Gumpaste? 50/50 mixture of the two and then painted with luster? Also, if the stars were white to begin with, would you paint them gold with a mixture of gel coloring and what? Thanks again, guys... You've been sooooo much help!
I'd say those are straight-up gumpaste stars. It looks like Aztec Gold. I'd paint them with that and vodka, mixed to make a paint-like consistency. No gel color, luster dust and vodka only. (some people paint with the luster dust and lemon extract, but I think it evaporates so quickly you are constantly have to add more extract.) Here's a link to the color:
One tip I learned from someone (sorry, I don't remember who) here on Cake Central is to pipe royal icing into the coffee stirrer, then put the wire into that. I let it dry overnight and it acted like glue, plus I didn't worry that the wire would accidentally poke through.
