I've been looking at pics in the gallery and I see gold scrolls and other icing elements in gold. How can I color icing that way? Airbrush color?

AGold leaf? Bright gold lutre dust mixed with alcohol and painted on yellow fondant works well too

Thanks. Mixing the lustre dust and painting it sounds good for gum paste pieces. What about coloring butter cream? Is that possible?
