Use Dry Pearl Dust for a Subtle Glitter: Brush dry Pearl Dust onto candies using a Decorator Brush. For fine detail, use a round tip brush. For larger areas, use a wider, flat brush.
Create Mixture with Lemon Extract for a Metallic Effect: In a small bowl, mix ¼ teaspoon Pearl Dust with ¼ teaspoon Wilton Pure Lemon Extract. Dissolve the Pearl Dust completely in the extract before painting. Lemon Extract evaporates quickly, so you may need to add more extract, one drop at a time, if mixture starts to dry up as you work..
