WHY IT WORKS
-
High-Reflectivity Pigment: Formulated with micro-fine particles that catch the light, creating a true metallic gold appearance rather than a dull yellow.

Versatile Application: Can be applied as a dry dust with a soft brush or mixed with a high-proof alcohol or lemon extract to create a smooth, quick-drying gold paint.
-
Superior Adhesion: Designed to cling effectively to chocolate, fondant, and dried royal icing without clumping or streaking.
-
Concentrated Coverage: A tiny amount of dust provides significant coverage, making the 2 Oz jar a long-lasting investment for boutique pastry shops.

Professional Grade: Trusted by pastry artists for its consistent color and purity, ensuring a flawless finish that won't flake off.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is this product 100% edible?
Yes, Crescendo Edible Shimmer is made with food-grade ingredients and is fully compliant for use as a food additive/colorant.
How do I make a gold paint with this?
Mix a small amount of dust with a few drops of high-proof clear alcohol (like vodka) or lemon extract until you reach a thin, paint-like consistency. The alcohol evaporates quickly, leaving only the gold pigment behind.
Can I use this in an airbrush?
While it is very fine, luster dust can clog fine-nozzle airbrushes. We recommend using an airbrush specifically designed for pearl/metallic pigments or mixing it thoroughly with an airbrush thinner.
Does it have a taste?
No, this shimmer is flavorless and will not alter the taste profile of your frostings or chocolates
