In reply to Rhonda.

I’ve never used Liqua-gel so I can’t tell you anything about it. I looked on CHefmaster site here: https://chefmaster.com/collections/liqua-gel?gclid=CjwKCAjw-ITqBRB7EiwAZ1c5U64zVnKrPUkq_dtHi_gMpU4R01ebcaTFC_6lNqJpnGsGAIaFUeyOhxoCA88QAvD_BwE

This is what it said:
Liqua-Gel is a premium food coloring, or food dye specially made for baking and cake decorating. Liqua-Gel food colorings take on the form of a highly concentrated and vibrant color gel that mix easily and provide consistent tones without altering the texture of your product. These products are Kosher & Halal certified.

AmeriColor, The Cookie Countess, & Wilton are the food-gel colors I use and love. These gel colors might mess with the texture of your icing slightly but the colors are wonderful.

If you use the Liqua-gel let us know what you think. I think we’d all love to hear how you like them.

Hi,
I just stumbled onto your site via Pinterest and soooooooooo appreciate your efforts to help out those of us non-professional cookie creators. I have to admit that I have spent a small fortune on getting setup but it has been worth it when people tell me they love my cookies thank you for posting the sparkle dust how to and the DIY colored powder sugar!

Hi Heidie, I love adding sparkly things to my cookies but we need to aware and read the labels. “Non-toxic” does not mean edible. I honestly don’t know what is in luster or petal dust. However, I have read in cake forums that the “Crystal Color Dust” (http://www.globalsugarart.com/crystal-colors-c-995.html) has been FDA approved but I have not checked myself.

You can always email the company you are ordering from or the maker of the product and ask them questions.

Hope this helps,
Lisa

This is awesome, I’ll try it! Thanks for sharing with us. Always thought on trying Disco Dust, I’m new at this Cookie baking theme and hesitate when I see the NOT toxic, and don’t see Edible anywhere. The other day I found an online Edible Luster Dust, is it the same as Disco Dust? I’ll appreciate the info, thanks alot.

Yay! A wonderful post about Avalon’s gelatin glitter recipe!!

If you can’t find white color, a little bit of cornstarch will provides the opacity that makes it shine really well.

You can use pearlescent airbrush colors, too, as they have a white base.

If you dry the sheets on plastic texture sheets, the irregularity AND the shiny surface create extra shine.

I haven’t tried it, but I think you could flavor this with a few drops of a concentrated candy oil. Not too much because it would affect the drying/stickiness.

It can be ground even finer through a tea strainer.

Kara Andretta of Kara’s Couture Cakes also has a long youtube tutorial on making gelatin glitter. Very similar, but some small tweaks.

Thank you so much!!!!

Everyone pass the word!
