you can mix a small amount of buttercream with super gold luster dust and then thin it down with vodka...if you thin it to paint consistency it paints well and when the vodka evaporates out it leave the buttercream hard almost like royal icing. it is not as shiny as just painting luster mixed with vodka....looks more flocked like this cake I made:

Hello.  I am doing my first wedding cake in Nov and the bride wants only BC.  I figured I would attempt stenciling on BC as I've only ever done it on Fondant.

 

But I did read that using Royal Icing can melt if you place it onto a BC frosted cake.  I'm not the expert, but you might want to look into that.

 

I'd like to know what BC recipe to use that will crust, be light in taste and pure white???? 

 

Thanks!

PhotoFrost has a new gold shimmer sheet out that can be cut and stenciled or even a paper punch used to create a design. I don't know if that is the look you are going for but it does make decorating a bit simpler. I hope this helps.

I've used RI on Buttercream many times and RI did not melt.  I know that RI will melt on whipcream.   BC that crusts uses shortening in recipe which you'll be able to find anywhere if you google "buttercream".    I've used yellow and pearl airbrush colors mix together and paint that on RI decoration to be edible.
