Editing How to Add Shimmer to Fondant

Adding shimmer to fondant is a great way to add a touch of sparkle and elegance to your cake decorating. Here are the steps to add shimmer to fondant:

1. Prepare your fondant: Roll out your fondant and cut it to the desired size and shape for your cake. You can use any color of fondant you like.

2. Choose your shimmer: There are a variety of shimmering products you can use, including luster dust, pearl dust, edible glitter, or disco dust. Choose the one that best matches the color and style of your cake.

3. Prepare your shimmer: Depending on the product you choose, you may need to mix it with a liquid to create a paintable consistency. For example, you can mix luster dust with clear alcohol (like vodka) or lemon extract.

4. Apply the shimmer: Using a clean paintbrush, lightly apply the shimmer to your fondant. Be careful not to apply too much, as it can clump and look messy.

5. Let it dry: Allow the shimmer to dry completely before handling or decorating your cake further.

6. Add more layers: If you want a more intense shimmer effect, you can apply additional layers of shimmer, waiting for each layer to dry before adding the next.

Adding shimmer to fondant is an easy and effective way to make your cake decorations stand out. Remember to use a light touch when applying shimmer and let it dry completely before handling or adding more layers.
