Tips & Tricks

  1. You can substitute silver dust or rose gold dust for gold dust, using the same method.

  2. Adjust the amount of lemon extract to achieve your desired paint consistency.

FAQS

  1. Can I use a different extract instead of lemon extract?

    Yes, you can use other clear extracts like vanilla extract, but lemon extract is recommended as it provides a slightly tart flavor that complements the sweetness of the cake.

  2. How do I store the edible gold paint?

    Store any leftover edible gold paint in an airtight container at room temperature. It should be used within a few days to maintain its quality.

  3. Can I use this paint on fondant?

    Yes, this edible gold paint works well on fondant, buttercream, and other cake decorating surfaces. Ensure the surface is dry before applying.

  4. Is this method halal?

    Yes, this method is halal as it uses lemon extract instead of alcohol, which is commonly used in traditional edible gold paint recipes.

  5. What kind of brush should I use to apply the edible gold paint?

    Use a food-grade brush with soft bristles for best results. Avoid using brushes that have been used with non-edible paints or materials.
