What is Lustre Spray?
Lustre spray is a food-safe spray that contains edible metallic or pearlized pigments. When sprayed onto cakes, cupcakes, cookies, or other desserts, lustre spray creates a stunning shimmering effect that instantly elevates the appearance of your baked goods. Available in a variety of colours and finishes, lustre spray allows you to customize the look of your cakes and bring your creative vision to life.
How to Use Lustre Spray
Using lustre spray is simple and straightforward, but there are a few key tips to keep in mind for best results:
- Prepare Your Cake: Start by baking and decorating your cake as usual. Allow the frosting or icing to set completely before applying lustre spray.
- Shake Well: Before using lustre spray, shake the can well to ensure that the pigments are evenly distributed.
- Test on a Small Area: Before spraying the entire cake, test the lustre spray on a small area to gauge the intensity of the shimmer and ensure that you're happy with the colour and finish.
- Apply Evenly: Hold the can of lustre spray about 6-8 inches away from the surface of the cake and spray in a smooth, even motion. Be sure to cover the entire surface of the cake for uniform coverage.
- Allow to Dry: After spraying, allow the lustre spray to dry completely before handling or serving the cake. This will ensure that the shimmer sets properly and doesn't smudge or rub off.
- Layer for Intensity: For a more intense shimmer effect, apply multiple layers of lustre spray, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next.
Pro Tip: If you’re adding luster spray to something larger than a cupcake (like a whole cake), we highly recommend using a turntable
