A Powerful Metallic Effect for Your Decorations

• Maximum Coverage: Its high-density formula provides a uniform and opaque finish from the first application.

• Intense Gold Shine: Offers deep metallic reflections that catch the light, ideal for simulating real gold on your creations.

• Technical Decorative Use: Non-toxic but strictly non-edible, designed exclusively for removable decorative elements or cake dummies (fake cakes).

• Generous Size: Its 56.6 g packaging is particularly economical for large-scale projects or exhibitions.

Professional Application Techniques

• Dry Application (Lustrous Effect): Use a soft brush on a well-dried surface (Gum Paste, dry fondant). Apply with light circular motions to polish the surface and bring out the metallic pigments.

• Paint Application (Opaque Effect): Mix a small amount of powder with an edible thinner (such as Rejuvenator or food-grade white alcohol). Apply with a fine brush to draw golden borders or paint precise details on your flowers and figurines.

Usage Recommendations and Precautions

• Intended Use: Sugar flowers on wires, decorative figurines, bases, and display structures.

• Safety: Do not apply directly on parts of the cake intended for consumption. Remove decorated elements with this powder before tasting.

• Compatibility: Do not use in an airbrush (risk of clogging nozzles with metallic pigments).

• Storage: Store the jar tightly closed in a dry place, away from light to preserve the gold’s shine.

All About Cake Lace Gold (Tips & Tricks)

Why use a non-edible powder rather than an edible powder? Certified edible powders (E171/E172) often provide a satin or pearly finish but struggle to mimic the "mirror" or "pure metal" finish. Cake Lace Gold is a technical decorative pigment used by professionals to achieve a "jewel" visual effect impossible to reach with 100% edible pigments. It is the number one choice for competitions and show cakes.

How to get a gold paint that leaves no brush marks? The secret lies in the thinner’s dosage. If your mixture is too liquid, it will dissolve the sugar; if too pasty, it will leave texture. Aim for a consistency close to acrylic paint. Apply a first thin layer, let it dry completely, then apply a second coat for perfect opacity.

Can this powder be mixed with other colorants? Yes, you can add it to other lustering powders to create shades of rose gold or antique gold. However, always use these mixtures only on non-edible elements.
