This is silver leaf – but it has to be edible

thanks tortacouture for the response :)

i thought so too but i know they are expensive and so i thought there might be other ways to achieve it. what about gold sheen airbrush and confectioner’s glaze? what do you think? thanks a lot

You can airbrush although it wont be exactly the same.

Silver leaf isn’t expensive. I bought 50 sheets of 80×80 and it cost me about £10

Try silver highlighter dust from CK products. You can airbrush it on and has better shine than the lustre dusts.
