How Do You Get a Smooth Metallic Finish on Chocolate?

[NightHollow]

Metallic finishes can make chocolate decorations look impressive, but getting even coverage isn't always easy. Do you prefer applying edible luster dust dry or mixing it with a suitable liquid for painting?

I usually mix luster dust with a little alcohol for a smooth metallic finish. For a different shimmer, Ive used edible glitter on my chocolates and it gives a nice even coverage without clumping.
