Doctor Who Dusting Set

My dusting set arrived today and my son wanted to try them out right away. They were easy to use and the characters dusted very well onto the cupcakes which we made. As they are a sale item, they are a real bargain.

with a keen doctor who fan in the house i run out of ideas and time to make intricate works of culinary doctor who art, what easier than to knock up a load of cupcakes with icing and dust?? happy son, happy mum with more time to do the washing up!!

Having read critical reviews, I decided to try these out for myself. I was very impressed. They work brilliantly for me, and the designs look great dusted on both cakes and, using cocoa, on hot drinks. So long as the product is used the correct way up (The shield is focused to be used only one way up to improve detail) and the dusting is sieved onto the shield rather than sprinkled then it should work well. If using to top hot drinks, I do find that a thick foam is needed. I can only describe the results I got with the one word used most fondly by the Ninth Doctor. Fantastic!

Just a thought - have you tried turning them over and trying to dust that way? That will give you a flat surface and not the curved, cup-like side that you can't put over the cupcake. Just a thought, hope that will help you!

Was very excited about getting these to decorate cupcakes but a big disappointment! They are completely useless to decorate cupcakes with as they are domed underneath so trying to apply dust (which is what it says on the packet), royal icing or spray turns into a splodgy mess. Even trying with the icing on a domed surface didn't give much improvement. The first time I have been disappointed in a Lakeland product. Pity I can't give a 0 star even a 1 is too much.
