## Description

How to paint with Edible Art Metallic Decorative Paint by Sweet Sticks Before you start: Tip 1. Shake the bottle well to ensure the solid and liquid ingredients mix together to form an even consistency to paint with. You can also open the bottle and stir the mixture with the end of your paint brush before shaking. Shake the bottle each time before using the paint, including between sessions. If your paint is transparent, the ingredients haven’t mixed together Tip 2. Play with your paints, become familiar with them. Each color has different pigmentation, so get a feel for each color. Edible surfaces are all different, so also paint on different painting surfaces; the metallic paints can be applied to fondant, crusted buttercream cakes (chilled), sugar cookies, marshmallows, confectionery, ganache, modeling chocolate, macarons and fruits. Do not use these metallic paints on Italian or Swiss meringue buttercream as these surfaces keep the paints from air-drying and leave them in liquid form. Tip 3. These Metallic Paints prefer wide, flat brushes with soft bristlesTip 4. Have hot soapy water and paper towels on hand. When done with one color, wash your brush gently and dry at once with a paper towel; you can also wash the brush with dishwashing liquid in your hand, then rinse with hot water How to paint:Tip 1. Don’t load your brush with too much paint — it’s easier to build up the color than take it away. If another coat is needed (depending on your desired color), wait for the first coat to dry; thick coats of paint will take much longer to dry. Tip 2. This paint is designed to be used straight from the bottle. You can add a drop of 95-percent high-grade alcohol to thin the paint when needed.

Review: Perfect paint! - Worked perfectly for what I needed! I used this edible paint for a cow print on my macarons and it was exactly what I needed! It looked beautiful and was the perfect consistency! You just need to give it a good shake and it’s almost like real paint not too watery or thick!
Review: Wait up to 24 hours to let it dry for painting cake drips (possibly for everything else too) - This worked great! The color is a honey gold (Glamorous Gold) but I was so excited I bought the Antique Gold as well. For people saying it tastes bitter-I put on two coats and waited 18-20 hours for the alcohol to evaporate. I tried it after 2-3 hours and it did taste terrible. 18 or so hours later, no taste at all. The packaging says to wait up to 24 hours, so just give it time to dry (lots of time) and you’ll be fine.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this show up on chocolate buttercream?**
A: I've used this brand on chocolate buttercream with no troubles. I just always discuss with customer (before we decide on design, and remind when delivering) that I recommend NOT eating that part of the icing. Just scrape away.

**Q: Can this be used on a stamp to put on a marshmallow?**
A: Yes I would think that should work If you are careful to apply it to the stamp with a paint brush.

**Q: Can I use it in drip chocolate? To paint the drip?**
A: Sure if the chocolate is dry.

**Q: Can this product be painted on chocolate coated cake pops**
A: Yes it can on high quality chocolate like Guittard but it will take a long time to dry but paints beautifully. If you buy, buy one bottle first to test. Some people love it for cake pops some people don’t like it  since it takes so long to dry.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect paint!
*by E***S on January 10, 2026*

Worked perfectly for what I needed! I used this edible paint for a cow print on my macarons and it was exactly what I needed! It looked beautiful and was the perfect consistency! You just need to give it a good shake and it’s almost like real paint not too watery or thick!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wait up to 24 hours to let it dry for painting cake drips (possibly for everything else too)
*by S***. on December 31, 2020*

### ⭐ Awful tasting! Ruined cake
*by I***R on June 16, 2021*

I bought this item to gild a drip cake. My drip came out gorgeous, and I used a cake brush to very carefully apply the gold paint. The paint was difficult to apply evenly, and it began drying so quickly that clumps formed when I would go over areas just a few seconds later. I'd reapply to try to get it even, but it resulted in a clumpy looking kind of mess. Even with these issues, the worst part was without question the taste. The taste was BAD. Like alcohol + paint thinner + vinegar bad. It was so bad I had to completely remove the drip layer, basically ruining the smoothness I worked so hard for. I tried to resmooth and cover imperfections with a lot of sprinkles and more piped icing. This item is non-refundable, so I'm stuck with an inedible, awful tasting mess I can never use for food. I'll probably use it for some crafts. Save yourself the trouble and pass. PROs: - Arrived quickly - Liquid so no mixing required CONs: - Awful, awful, foul taste - Difficult to spread evenly - Clumps easily - Non-refundable - Did I mention the taste? Renders cake inedible.
