Wedding Wednesday: Bling it up!

What girl doesn't love a little sparkle....especially on her wedding day! There are many ways to add a little "bling" as we call it or sparkle to your wedding cake, while still keeping it classy and elegant. Just as the saying goes everything is good in moderation- no one wants to have a cake that looks like a disco ball exploded on it, but a bit can add that special touch and make your cake spectacular.  There a few products we use in the industry that you might consider for your cake.

Check out this Blingtastic Wedding Cake!

Luster dust comes in many different colors, and adds sparkle, shine, and a fair amount of color. 
Highlighter dust usually comes in gold and silver colors, and gives a high-sheen, metallic finish. 
Petal dust has a matte finish and produces deep, strong colors. Petal dust is often used to decorate gumpaste flowers because the matte appearance gives them a natural look. 
Pearl dust imparts a sparkly, pearlescent finish with just a touch of color. Pearl dust is translucent and can be mixed with petal dust to give decorations shimmer and sparkle without adding much color.
Sparkle dust produces effects similar to luster dust, imparting color and shine, but the sparkle dust grains are larger than the fine powder of the luster dust.
Disco dust has the largest grains of all, and can be compared in size to pieces of glitter. Disco dust is not subtle, so it works best on pieces that should "pop" and sparkle with a glittery finish.
