Rainbow Dust – Poppy Red Powder

These powders are used much in the same way as the “Edible Silk Range” but the result is a matt finish (rather than a metallic one). Matt dusts can also be used as a paint by mixing a small amount of Paint Creator (found in the Sugarcraft Essential section) with the dust until the required consistency is achieved. It can be used thinner for painting onto cakes to achieve a water colour look or thicker to highlight areas of work, to tips of sugar flowers, to paint letters cut from flower paste, and to paint over piped royal icing designs. Do not mix the dust with water to make a paint as it will not mix correctly and go lumpy.
