SWEET STICKSEdible Art Decorative Cake Paint 0.5 Ounce (15 Milliliters), Metallic Platinum Gold

Works great, tastes terrible. You can't really taste it if you use a little bit (e.g., I used it to color some sugar pearls and small lettering, and couldn't taste it), but it makes a huge difference and tastes really terrible if you use it on large surfaces (e.g., the chocolate gun I made).

It works well

This product was very easy to use, I purchased the rose gold paint and it was exactly what I was expecting it to be. I painted an 8 inch sized cake that was about 6 inches tall with 1 bottle and an 1/8 of a second bottle . I also airbrushed a 12 inch cake that was about 6 inches tall and I used about 1/2 a bottle of product for that. Overall I do feel like it was decent pricing for what I got. I also did not notice a different taste in my cake with the painted tier. I would recommend and buy again when needed!

At first it was a little runny so I had to shake the bottle well before using, and I did have to paint over it about 3 times to get the color to cover the white royal icing. But I love how it turned out the color looked amazing. I did use it to go over smaller thinner lines of royal icing and only had to paint in once and the color was great. Would definitely continue using this product.

I only use this brand now for the details on my cakes!! It’s opaque and stays where. I put it!

Ease of product is great but has a horrific bitter taste.

This is not a bad product you just need to be prepared to learn how to use it. This is basically an already made luster dust product ready to be used. Here is what I have learned and what I would use this for. If you have to add a shine to already set chocolate or add detailing this is perfect but please allow it to dry. If you use this product to a wet product there is a little taste to it if alcohol becomes this is a luster dust activated. This product is not in great quantities there is only so much so use it more for extra details. I try to use it for butter cream to change the color but at the end I wasted the whole bottle and had to use gel food coloring. If your wanting this to change the color of the chocolate don’t do that it will mess the tempering of your chocolate go with a dust based luster dust. Other then that the product is nice and color is beautiful. So recap USE for detailing LET IT dry first before consuming DON’T mix it in chocolate or anything wet there will be an after taste and there not enough product to change the color unless you use the whole bottle.

Had to do much research and read several reviews before deciding what edible gold paint I needed to get for my royal icing sugar cookies.After reading reviews on this one, decided to purchase the Edibleart Decorative Cake Paint in metallic Pure Gold. I did what a few others indicated to do first and foremost shake really well. I was afraid of the taste as a few people had said it had a bad taste. So, I mixed it with a very small amount of pure lemon extract, and a small dash of goldish dust powder to give it shine just in case. I let the white icing dry COMPLETELY before painting over them, and then I also let them dry completely (overnight & into part of the morning /early afternoon) after I painted them.I did make an extra one so I could taste it before proceeding in coloring them all.The gold paint was tasteless! I would recommend this product as long as you do what many have said to do.....Shake well, mix with an extract IF YOU'D LIKE, VODKA OR EVERCLEAR. Just note, I first tried vanilla extract and DID NOT like how it transformed the gold, turned it more of into a copper color. So, I used pure lemon extract since its clear, and it worked out best anyways since my icing does have a hint of lemon to begin with.

Brillient product easy to apply with a brush to sugarpasteor sugarflower paste, dries quickly too, making it easier to apply a second coat without streaking.

Colour came out perfect but it tastes disgusting. Like bitter metal.

This is a good value, given that individually these would have cost $130. (Would be nice to have sets that aren't just gold and silver tones, like a rainbow set or something.) And the colours are really nice - the shimmer is really very beautiful and they blend together well.But the taste is really, really bad and I don't know how to fix it. I've tried the techniques they indicate (very thin coats, leaving it to dry completely, even leaving it overnight). I've tried it on all kinds of food, too: Chocolate, fondant, marshmallows, even cookies, and the taste just kind of overpowers everything else. Not sure how to describe the taste: Bitter? Chemical? Melted plastic?I'm kind of disappointed because I got these to use for a (virtual) decorating party for my daughter and her friends, and while I think they will love using the colours and making stuff, I'm 99% certain that they won't actually eat any of it in the end because it's going to taste so bad. I wish the seller/manufacturer would provide more guidance on how to mitigate the awful taste that goes beyond "thin coats" and "let it dry".

I've bought about 10 of these in a variety of different colours and although they're pretty, they taste SO awful that you really can only use them on the parts of the cake (or whatever) that no one eats: The fondant toppers, the giant buttercream flowers, etc. Also, as other buyers have said, it's CRUCIAL to stir these thoroughly before using because they definitely get into a giant glob in the bottom.

Arrived in a couple days and was perfect for painting on Royal icing on these cookies! I bought this product because I’ve been looking for a good edible gold paint for my cakes and cookies and three coats of this stuff sure does the trick! Can’t wait to try it out on buttercream and fondant. I ordered silver as well, I have yet to try that out as well, but I will most definitely be ordering this product again in the future. (The bottles are tiny, only 15ml)
