I love the bling on this cake! And the texture was perfect to create interest and not detract or compete with the dazzling second tier! Great work :)

Gorgeous! I'm having a hard time achieving the same gold when painting with the gold luster dust and vodka mixture. Currently I have just tried one from Global Sugar Art, is there a specific brand I should be looking for?
