Sparkle & Shine Luster Dust
Antique Gold
What is Lustre Dust?
Luster dust is a fine, shiny powder made from safe ingredients like mica-based pigments. Unlike edible glitter, which has larger flakes, luster dust's small particles are ideal for painting, airbrushing, or dry-brushing to add shine and metallic coverage. Our luster dust is Kosher certified by Australia Kosher.
Buyer Beware!
Many luster dusts claim to be 'non-toxic,' which can make them seem safe to eat. However, 'non-toxic' is not the same as 'edible.' Non-toxic means it's unlikely to harm you if ingested in small amounts, while edible means it's completely safe to eat. Look for 'edible' on the packaging to know what to choose.
How Do I Use Lustre Dust?
Using luster dust is really simple. You can use it wet or dry. Let’s go over how to do both.
Using Luster Dust Dry
To use luster dust dry, shake the container, then apply with a dry paintbrush.
Brush the luster dust onto chocolate-dipped items, chocolate bars, or hot chocolate bombs.
Add some luster dust to syrup or caramel and stir for a sparkling touch to pancakes or waffles.
Brush onto gum paste or fondant leaves, flowers, or shapes if you want the color underneath to show through.
Using Luster Dust Wet
Wet luster dust creates a shiny, metallic finish. To use, add a couple shakes of luster dust to a small bowl, then mix in a few drops of clear alcohol like vodka until it reaches a paintable thickness. Avoid making it too thin, as it won't cover well; a thicker mix works better. You can always adjust the amount of luster dust or alcohol if needed.
Paint onto cakes covered in buttercream or fondant using a brush or spray gun.
Highlight the edges of sugar flowers for an elegant touch.
Make fondant pearls look realistic by painting with pearlescent luster dust.
Enhance macarons or royal icing covered cookies with a nice metallic touch.
Add magic to unicorn horns and other fondant details for cakes or cupcakes.
And much more!
