Wilton Edible Powder Dusting Brush set - 2 Piece

 

Dusting is fun when you're dusting fondant or gum paste decorations with the Wilton Edible Powder Dusting Brush set to add colour or shine.

Food-safe brushes in two sizes have soft, synthetic bristles shaped to be used with Colour Dusts or Lustre Dusts.

Use the large brush to cover large areas of a fondant cake or to brush entire flowers with Colour Dust edible accents or Pearl Dust edible accents.


Use the small brush to dust small details on fondant or gum paste decorations, adding realistic shading to your designs.


Before first and after each use, hand wash with warm water and gentle soap. Squeeze excess water. Allow to air dry thoroughly. 


The two food-safe brushes in the set contain soft, synthetic bristles and are shaped to be easy to use with great coverage. 

Using brushes to apply lustre dust is a common technique in cake decorating and sugar crafting to add shimmer and shine to edible creations. Here's how to do it:

  1. Select Your Brushes: Choose brushes that are specifically designated for food use and are clean and dry. Soft-bristled brushes, such as those made from natural materials like sable or synthetic alternatives, are ideal for applying lustre dust smoothly and evenly.

  2. Prepare Your Surface: Ensure that the surface of your cake, fondant, gum paste, or other edible medium is clean and dry. Lustre dust adheres best to surfaces with a slightly tacky or moistened surface, so you may lightly mist your creation with water or brush with clear alcohol like vodka or lemon extract to create a sticky base. Allow it to dry for a few minutes before applying the lustre dust.

  3. Pour Lustre Dust: Pour a small amount of lustre dust into a shallow dish or onto a clean, dry palette. You can use a single colour or mix different shades to achieve the desired effect.

  4. Load Your Brush: Dip the tip of your brush into the lustre dust, gently tapping off any excess. You want a light dusting of powder on the brush, so avoid overloading it to prevent clumping or uneven application.

  5. Apply the Lustre Dust: Using light, sweeping motions, brush the lustre dust onto the surface of your edible creation. Start with a light layer and gradually build up the intensity as needed. You can brush in one direction for a smooth, even finish or use circular motions for a more textured effect.

  6. Blend and Layer: If you're using multiple colours or shades of lustre dust, you can blend them together directly on the surface by gently overlapping the colours with your brush. Layering different shades can create depth and dimension in your decorations.

  7. Focus on Details: Pay attention to the details of your design, making sure to cover all areas evenly. Use smaller brushes for intricate areas or to add targeted highlights and accents.

  8. Finishing Touches: Once you're satisfied with the coverage and intensity of the lustre dust, allow it to dry completely before handling or moving your edible creation. You can use a soft, clean brush to gently remove any excess powder if needed.

By following these steps, you can achieve a beautiful, shimmering finish on your cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and other edible creations using lustre dust and brushes. Experiment with different colours, techniques, and brush sizes to create stunning effects and elevate your decorating skills
