Will Fondant Stick To Fondant Painted With Luster Dust?
Decorating By maggiev777 Updated 23 Sep 2007 , 1:34am by dragonflydreams
I am painting the top and sides of my fondant cake with luster dust (rather thickly). Can I still stick other fondant to it? Or wil it not stick b/c of the luster dust?
Thanks!
hmmm, are the pieces you are sticking onto it also going to painted? I would just place them on first. If not, paint around. a newbie, but thought I could add two cents! HTH, and also a bump for someone more experienced!
Although I don't have much experience . . . I can say that if you use royal icing to attach your fondant pieces to a "dry" luster dusted surface you won't have any problems . . . this is the only method I have tried (and it was successful) 
There may be better/easier methods . . . but I know this works
Thanks for the replies! 
I am using luster dust painted on with vodka. I am not excited about sticking them on first and then painting around them because I am adding lettering to the side of the cake - so painting around each letter will end up being a real pain (and probably not look as nice as if they were painted before attaching them).
Toniprev - Not sure if I can apply the letters while the luster dust is still wet, but I will think about how I could do that. By "sugar glue" do you mean gumpaste glue?
Dragonflydreams - Good to know! I am a little worried about RI showing (since the letters are kind of delicate looking) but maybe I could touch up any visible RI with luster dust. Does the dust (With vodka) stick to RI?
I think I will experiment a little bit with gumpaste glue and RI...
great . . . be sure and share your findings . . .
