The 5 Best buttercream golds (2023 reviews)

Luxe Cake has been making feature-packed gold for years, thanks to a combination of clever design and high-end materials. Luxury cake dust finishes your project with a bright sheen and elegant, glittery metallic look. It covers the cookies and gives a true gold look. It seriously is amazing and the shine is crazy. It is such a nice, fine consistency and it makes the cake look so gold.

The Gold highlighter is more shimmering and can dust cakes and confections. It offers a realistic look when brushed onto fondant/gum paste, chocolate, pulled sugar/isomalt. It is a great color and shine. It stays on the skin for a long time, just from using it for cake decorating. This is by far the best gold and that includes working with gold leaf.

Literally the prettiest edible gold luster dust
Looks fabulous on cakes, cupcakes, donuts, etc
