Hi

I have a 50th wedding anniversary cake to do. I would like to have a golden icing. Is it possible ??? If yes, please can you tell me what you do for that ??


I forgot to tell you that I' from Quebec in Canada and we only have wilton paste colors to make our colors. If you have ideas, please tell me !!!


Thanks in advance and have a good day

Hi I think the easiest way of getting a true gold is to use gold luster dust & paint it on. We have luster dust available in Canada. Be sure to post your cake, would love to see what you come up with. Bunny

Thanks

But I don't know this product

Please can you, give me more details about it ??? The company who produce it ??? Can you put a picture of a bottle of that ?? I have to shop it now to be sure to include its costs in my selling price !!!

I promise I will send a photo of this cake but it will be in August.

YOu can find luster dusts at sights such as www.candylandcrafts.com, I'm not sure what the shipping would be like to Canada. If I were you I'd do a search for luster dusts on Canadian cake sights. In the states the little tiny containers (2-3 grams?) run about $3-4, but you mix it with anything with at least that is at least 60 proof (alcohol) so that it will dry quickly and it really goes a long way. It comes in lots of colors and it really can look like gilding. Good luck!

Thanks for the info I will search for this product tomorrow morning.

I heard two things today about golden icing with Wilton product, I would like to know if somebody tried that:

mix orange with leaf green to obtain golden

or

mix yellow with blue to obtain golden

Is it ok ???

Thanks a lot for the help

hi,
just for the yellow and blue mixing you defenetly don't get golden you get green.
orange and green. maybe it would give a shade of brown. havn't tried that really but logically it would turn brownish. just put more orange and start slowly adding green. Still i don't think it would be the golden you are looking for.

Check out McCall's website (located in Toronto) and they might have it available to order. There is also Golda's kitchen, and Creative cutters, all Canadian. Cake Central also has Americolor availble in gold (I have not tried mine yet), shipping took about 10 business days.

I know I can get 24 k gold dust here in Ottawa at Artistic cake design.

Hi Suela,

I have to go to Ottawa in March !!! Please can you give me the address of Artistic cake Design ??? I will go and buy it directly !!!

Thanks a lot in advance and have a good day

Americolor sells a "gold" gel paste color!!

Hi,
I just did a golden wedding cake in December. You can see it in my photos, if you would like to.
I covered the cake in ivory (mixed with a dash of golden yellow) coloured fondant, and then did all the accents and detailing with gold lustre dust mixed with a little vodka. I could post a close-up if you like.
All the best,
Karen

Woooooow It's very nice !!!

I hope to make something as nice as yours !!!!

If you have a closer picture I will appreciate and put it in my favorite !!!

You will be my inspiration !!!

Thanks a lot for details and have a good day

Very pretty Karen! Just enough gold!

You can also get luster dust at Michael's here in Canada

Hi,
Just posted the close-up of the sugar vase topper in my photos. The file is quite large, so may take some time to load.
Good luck!
Karen

Thanks Karennayak

I just look at it and put in my favorite. It is very very very nice. I hope to be able to make someting like that in next August !!

Cashley -
you are one lucky person, I can't get luster dust at Michaels and I live in Canada as well.

Thanks Smileyface for the info

I have to go to Ottawa soon and I think I will stop at Artistic Cake Desing to see what they have.

Have a good day
