"Mica Powder for Cakes" star star star star star I've used mica powders in crafting for years and was thrilled to buy this edible version. It is a Mica dust and should really be fluffed over an area with something like a paint brush. I used it on chocolate decorations and got the most luxurious, regal results. I bought a plain iced birthday cake and put a (clean) stencil on the top. Dusted this powder lightly through it and the result was a stunning glimmering rose. Nothing more was needed. Don't use the pourer, don't wet it unless you are painting with it then glycerine is best. This is a dressing and best used dry for beautiful results.
"On cakes is NOT sparkling, NOT gold. Just looks yellow." star star_border star_border star_border star_border This review is for an older version of this product This dust does look quite sparkly and gold in the container. BUT, once sprinkled on the cake, it looks just plain yellow. Plus, it doesn't sprinkle finely. It's kind of clumpy, no matter how carefully you sprinkle - with either the shaker top, or using fingers. It kind of ruined my Christmas tree cake. I would have returned, but threw receipt away. support_agent A note from the team Many thanks for placing your review. We're sorry to hear this dust sparkling powder hasn't worked as well as you'd expected. Our Buyers have advised that perhaps if the cake was warm when the powder was sprinkled on it could look more yellow than gold. All our products are tested thoroughly by the Buying team and we felt this product was a good addition to our range. Thanks again for your feedback.
"Does not fit purpose" star star_border star_border star_border star_border The shaker is useless and puts far too much cocoa out, and lacks sparkle. Not a good product, overpriced for what it is. support_agent A note from the team Many thanks for placing your review. We're sorry to hear this dusting powder hasn't worked as well as you'd expected.
