What is the consistency of the mixture when you apply it to the cake – runny, pasty?
It’s more runny than pasty, although it depends on how much alcohol you use. I will mix it depending on what I am trying to accomplish. Runnier if I am covering a large surface, thicker it I am hand painting some detail. Sometimes I will dip my brush in some PGA and then just dip it in the dust.
I did know that PGA was illegal in some states, but I don’t know why. Any high proof alcohol should work just as well. Lemon extract is REALLY high proof, but it is expensive, and it does leave behind a slight lemon flavor.
