How Do I Create A Satin Look On Colored Fondant?
Decorating By jesslh827 Updated 6 Dec 2017 , 6:41am by shimmering
I am going to be attempting my 2nd fondant cake ever. The first one that will require any precision or skill. I need to make "ribbon" that goes around each square layer. I watched a video on how to make a satin look using pearl dust. When I went to the online store to buy it I was surprised by all the different colors. My question is do I need to find brown pearl dust to go on brown colored fondant? They have "brown luster dust" but it doesn't say "pearl" so I don't know if that is the right stuff. Thank you for your answers!!
AI use just the pearl dust. However, I have never put it on Brown.? I think that is all you want though? The luster dust is different than the pearl dust. Luster dust won't give you the same effect. I personally LOVE pearl dust!! It is so pretty on fondant!! Not sure if this helps, but I hope so. :) Good luck and happy decorating!
I know its an old post but just wanted to answer in case someone was looking.
Pearl dust gives the best satiny look. As close to satin as possible. Now you do get lots of colors in pearl dusts too so you can choose the color you want to get the satin look. In case that color is not available, you can mix some white/off white pearl dust and mix in some petal dust of the desired color to get the required color. I have even tried it with gel colors, which make for darker colors.
