Airbrush Cake Pearlescent Shimmer Metallic Color Set - The 6 Most Popular Metallic Colors in 0.64 fl. oz. (19ml) Bottles - Safely Made in the USA product

Vibrant colors!

I typically used Americolor or Wilton gels for coloring icing and do not yet have an airbrush, but I knew I wanted a silver metallic look for a particular project I was doing so I started researching. I found this set offered a nice selection of colors at a good price so I got it even though it is intended for airbrushing. Based on the other reviews, I figured I could paint with it. I mixed a few drops of the metallic silver and red with one or two drops of high-proof alcohol and painted over royal icing as shown in the photos of my Day of the Dead cake. I think I did about three coats for both the silver and the red on her lips. The red looked pretty dull until about the third coat but I think it turned out okay. I got to the point where I was satisfied enough that I was ready to stop decorating - lol. I also mixed the red and blue to get a deep purple for the spider on the side, but I couldn't get the color I wanted so I added Americolor Regal Purple and it turned out the way I wanted. I am pleased with the results and happy I got this set. For your reference, the photos show the silver color used on the filigree and daisies, and the red color on her lips. (The various golds are from either Wilton spray cans or other products I already had and wanted to use up so I cannot comment much on the Chefmaster gold. I did try the Chefmaster gold on one daisy. It was very pretty, but, yes, a yellow gold. However, I only applied one coat before deciding I just wanted to spray with Wilton Colormist in order to save time and use up what I already had. I think if I'd painted the same three coats, the gold would have produced the same lovely results as the silver.)

Used for coloring candy apples. The shimmery affect was amazing. If you want a metallic finish, get this product!

Looks ok , hadn't had a chance to use it

This is a great product if you are looking for metallics to use.The colors come out just as expected. The gel consistency, brightness, and taste are all what the seller said that it would be. The only disagreement I would have is thst the bottles are extremely small. So if you have a large project to fulfill, their is not the one to order. The actual website has larger bottles. So the value for the money was fine.

I love all of U.S. Cakes Airbrush colors I use them for my Art Royal Cookies.

Did not appear as vibrant or metallic when used. Even when adding to a liquor to use as spray container

I was tasked with making a Star Wars cake for a friend's wedding. I imagined doing a galaxy design, but had never used an airbrush before. This dye turned out beautifully, though was so intensely pigmented, I needed to thin it out with a few drops of vodka for it to spray out of my super basic $22 air brush. Very happy with the coloration and still have a boatload left. Note to anyone who might try—this will not work to dye chocolate melts! Learned the hard way that it will make it seize up if added directly to the chocolate, and beaded on the completed chocolate. Use luster dust instead—that's what all the chocolate figurines on the cake are decorated with.
