This is so simple and straight to the point. I wanted glitter but somehow ended up mistakenly buying this dust and I want to try it out for the first time. This really helped my confidence. Thank you!❤

[@LilaLoa_Cookies]

Yeay!!! I'm so glad it was helpful!!

[@vaudelia89]

I’ve seen so many videos and none like this. This is literally the best video that shows me how to paint gold and what I should be looking for! Thank you so much!!!

[@zo7588]

Thank God! I don’t consume alcohol. So glad i came across your vid.

[@sashasuber1670]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I was trying to figure out how to substitute lemon extract because I was nervous that it would leave a taste to the cookies. I can’t wait to try this!

[@LilaLoa_Cookies]

I'm glad it's helpful!

[@Taylor-wt9zv]

I did the air brush with the powder but in silver before watching this and it worked awesome

[@roodyalhaj.8160]

I love it

[@goodthingsbydavid1679]

That does it! I'm going to mix Americolor Airbrush Gold with Rolkem gold for my next cookie project!

[@mrsluxe2200]

THANK YOU!!! I'm making a gold cake for my stepdaughter's birthday and the last time I worked with gold luster dust... well, see through, clumpy and decidedly disappointing. Feel much more confident to go forth and make not just shiny cookies, but accidentally gigantic, shiny shiny super shiny golden cakes! And again, your commentary is just Brilliant and sets you apart. Who wouldn't love to read a cook/cakebook in bed with your word. A baker and a writer. What combo! Keep posting lovely things please!

[@LilaLoa_Cookies]

Good luck!!!! A gold cake sounds absolutely adventurous!!

[@lillekagehus392]

Hi Georganne, bit late getting to this one. I've been definitely making the paste too thin, so you've totally helped me. (and you are not the only impatient cookie decorator, I could kick myself sometimes) Many thanks :) Marie

[@LilaLoa_Cookies]

HA HA HA HA!!!!! I tell myself I could rule the world....if only I could rule my patience! :)

[@clarissawhite8801]

Awesome video! Love your sense of humor!

[@yolandapierce4258]

I'm sorry, but I laughed through this video, especially at the binge eating chocolate, it was like an infomercial lmao thank you!

[@justlily1352]

I’m just now finding you and I’m in LOVE with your videos! You think like me lol! I always rush!!!! And right when I asked “how can I get it a brighter color” you totally answered it lol!

[@donaharrisburg5469]

😃. I always enjoy your videos. I mix alcohol but the other day I tinkled in water. I have used airbrush colors with powders. I'm looking for powders that I'll be happier with. Tyfs. Roll em is one but I always forget to search it. Lol

[@ramonamurray9127]

OMG!!! I have been searching high and low for tutorial on this. I think I gave been using too much vodka. My mixture are usually translucent and clumpy. It also eats through dried royal icing like acid, ugh! Thank you so much!!!

[@LilaLoa_Cookies]

Yes! A thicker paste generally works MUCH better! And if you have problems with it eating through your icing...try drying the icing with a moving air source (like a fan or dehydrator). It creates a glossy sheen that acts as a barrier to the liquid.

[@prakhyaskitchen5815]

Wow great thank you

[@fathimazuhra5021]

This is glitter gold dust please rply

[@TheCoolCookieKitchen]

Tried this and it was an epic fail. It didn’t brush on nice at all. 😭 I continue to hunt for a great good option.

[@mrobertson9222]

Don't use water, use ever clear :-)

[@Saeyoung404]

I need this for my 3D work of assignment and this is just very brilliant!! Yes thank you!!! Also ,can this applies on other things and hold the same consistency ? My model is flower sponge based covered in emulsion white paint water base.

[@sailegalstudies6580]

I can do this technique on dark chocolate also

[@Suzee46]

I love this video!! I'm JUST as impatient but I don't make videos!! 🌺

[@pennydaum4983]

Can i use this on the edges of rosettes of buttercream on cupcakes?

[@azrafatima5925]

What is the alternative to alcohol?

[@symmonep3025]

Kulsum Jaffari I’ve seen vanilla extract used. It wasn’t quite as bright as the alcohol but still really pretty!

[@melaniesmiley3055]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheJansport1]

Couldn't you have warmed honey, let it tack up, and then use gold foil to place on the sticky honey?

[@mrchange165]

where can I buy this! please! give me the link of this product

[@AndyHome]

Can I put the gold paint directly to my cookie without any frosting?

[@LilaLoa_Cookies]

Absolutely!

[@safrahanan1571]

[@anushkapawar5683]

[@sahelisaha5508]

[@narinderkaurnarinderkaur7171]

suit pe golden colour kase lagae ke utre na

[@dellabautista2707]

I was wondering if you can advice me how to make a rose gold color beaded border?

[@LilaLoa_Cookies]

Start with icing that is similar in color to the rose gold you want to end with. Pipe the border and let it dry. Then mix rose gold colored luster dust with alcohol or water and paint on top of the dry icing.

[@dellabautista2707]

Thank you for your advice. I will do that. I was wondering have you heard of Edible Art paint by Sweet Sticks? They have a very pretty metallic range of premixed colors and nonmetallic, but the metallic range was not recommended for royal icing. You can use it for crusted buttercream, fondant and cookies, but I was adviced that the royal icing will cause the paint to not to dry well.

[@LilaLoa_Cookies]

I haven't heard of that brand! But now I want to try it!!

[@dellabautista2707]

[@LilaLoa_Cookies]

Thank you!!

[@MDarmalim]

can i use this on a fondant?

[@LilaLoa_Cookies]

Yes!

[@lyuda1ful]

Where did you buy a gold dust?

[@LilaLoa_Cookies]

I got some from Truly Mad Plastics, Flour Box Bakery, Country Kitchen SweetArt, and How Sweet Is That?!

[@kathleenkuebler7522]

would this work on cake pops as well?

[@LilaLoa_Cookies]

You can use dry luster dust on chocolate. Because chocolate is oil based though, if you mix it with water, it will bead up on the surface of the chocolate.

[@LilaLoa_Cookies]

[@BigENE14]

can i use Hennessey? or will it taste like Hennessey? lol

[@LilaLoa_Cookies]

Ha ha ha!! Generally - when you use alcohol, you want to use the highest proof you can find...like Everclear.

[@BigENE14]

LilaLoa okay thank you! haha God Bless!

[@jtacderas]

Disc0 dust isnt edible, its tiny peicies 0f plastic.

[@LilaLoa_Cookies]

None of these are disco dust.

[@andy60460]

Alcohol gives you more shine

[@LilaLoa_Cookies]

Yes! It definitely does! The downside with alcohol is that the gold tends to rub off once dry. It doesn't do that with water. So you really have to pick which one matters more to you.
