I found this a while ago, don't remember where but I saved it and never tried it.
"saw a few posts asking how to make gold and silver for piping.....found this recipe and thought I would share it:

2 ts. Powdered sugar
2 ts. gold silver or metallic dusting powder
clear alcohol
1 ts. piping gel

On a small ceramic plae, mix sugar and dusting powder. Add a few drops of clear alcohol (gin or vodka is suggested) and mix with a small palette knife to create a stiff paste

Add the piping gel, a little at a time, mixing well until the consistency for piing in reached. Use a very small piping bag and tip as needed. The leftovers can be put into a small container and stored in the refrigerator. It will keep indefinitely YOU NEED 4 GRAMS FOR THIS ! PLUS YOU CAN ADD MORE POWDER SUGAR , YOU WILL LOVE IT !

HOPE YOU ALL HAD A CHAMCE TO TRY THIS , I HAVE HAD THIS IN A PIPING BAG  since i tryed this, still good !

I tried with just plain grey colour and then brushed with lustre dust afterwards. Just on a dummy cake. It piped quite nicely. I put a straight pin with a ball head on it into the nozzle tip which kept the icing from hardening in the tip. Do you think metallic blue would work? Thinking yes.....


cool yes , i am sure you still need to use 2 teaspoons tho !its kind of pricey , when you think you need it to be a good brand of luster dust like CK

I can get some metallic colours for about $5 at my local bulk barn.

the idea is good , i would have to taste them, first ! yr's ago i worked in shoprite cake deco dept ! and thats what they used it was kind of nasty but if pep's like the store cake they will like this stuff , i guess what i am saying is if you have a bakery like the retail store s it will work out fine !
