..but what is a good brush to use it on. it won't be on one spot but will be spread out that way the cake looks sparkle all around. Can i use a new makeup blush brush for shimmer dust on the cake?
A new unused make up brush is perfectly fine!


a large blusher brush seems ideal.


Otherwise, a pastry brush can also be used, however, I wouldn't recommend this as the bristles are much firmer, therefore I don't think it'll give quite as even a spread.





Artist's brushes are very good to use, as you can ensure an even spread, and use a variety of brush sizes so the dust is spread to specifically how you want it, without ruining the icing / topping on the cake.





Airbrushing the dust onto the cake is another alternative that ensures an even finish, or a finish that is specific to your requirements.


However, I'm not sure how easy it is, or expensive it is, to get hold of the equipment.Can i use a new makeup blush brush for shimmer dust on the cake?
The makeup brush will do just fine,a new basting brush would work also.Be frugal and use what you have and save your money on all those fancy do nothing gadgets.
