Battlestar Galactica cake
I want to make a Battlestar Galactica cake, my thought is since I only three days, I plan on doing the logo, as opposed to the ship. I have attached the logo so you can see what it looks like.
I have two questions:
1) Any suggestions on how to cut the fondant cleanly since its so intricate. One idea I had was after rolling out the fondant to put it in the refrigerator to harden a little bit, is this a good idea, and if so how long?
2) I have used gold luster dust before and it tends to transfer quite easily to parts of the cake you don't want it to and this cake has a two hour ride to its destination. Any suggestions how to stop this, or another way to get the gold metallic look? Would using a steamer on it help? Has anyone ever tried to get a gold color on fondant by adding color (via Wilton icing colors)?
Thanks!
Terry

By the way Terry, I forgot to respond about the steaming question. Steaming is supposed to set the colour, so might be a good idea. It certainly makes the colours more vivid and I love the effect it gives.

Ah Faith, that's so kind of you. I did a quick search and it seems that they are readily available over here (Amazon for sure). I guess I just didn't know about them, so never looked lol!
