to make the fondant looks like gold, i have to dye light brown fondant and then i use the airbrush with gold dust and gin. kisses!

So it has to be brown at the first ! dark color you mean?

brown tone depends on the type of gold you want: old gold, light gold …if you need an old gold on your cake, you should dye the fondant with darker brown (like chocolate) but if you want a lighter gold, you can dye with ivory

Yes exactly! I tint it with ivory color first, than add old color with a brush:)

For this cake, I made my royal icing, then tinted it with a combination of yellow and caramel colour. When it was dry, I used a fine paintbrush to paint gold colour over it. The gold used here is “Creative” brand Pearlescent Ultra Gold, which I mixed with alcohol.
