Hello All!
I was asked to make a silver and gold cake in a week. I haven't used these two colors a whole lot before. You cannot make silver buttercream, but you can use luster dust to make it silver. I thought I better practice! The gold should be easier since I will use fondant for those accents.
I like to make parchment bags. They work great for small batches and are inexpensive. Plus, clean up is a snap! Just take the tip out and throw away, no washing the bag. Gotta love that!
I made a small batch of gray frosting. It was a little dark, but was just for practice :)
I like to use a glass to hold the bag upright while filling any of my bags.
I used Wilton's silver dust.
Mix it with a little vodka. You also can use clear vanilla if you prefer.
I piped a little on wax paper, can always use the practice at writing :) I can have good handwriting when I try, but piping is a whole other story.
I brushed the dust on after. Couldn't really capture it with the camera, but you get the gist. You can see the sparkles. Plus, when I make the cake I will use a lighter gray which will look nice against a white cake.
Hope you all have a great rest of the week!
