Just to add to the info above, Crystal Colors were the first FDA approved/Kosher dusts---I use them and love them.   I have recently been made aware that TheSugarArt.com (Edward Frys company--used to be European Cake Gallery)...

Well, for me, the simplest way to explain it is that Disney paid the money to design the characters, so they "own" them and the rights to them. If someone else wants to make money off of Disney's investment, then they have to ask--and...
