Very useful.. I had tried some shimmer powder just straight into the mould but a thin layer of chocolate first is a very good tip. And being a bit more liberal with the shimmer!
Watching your videos is like a home-study course and I love that. I have a question -- when you are adding the shimmer powders with a brush, how do you keep from getting the hairs of the brush in the mould cavities? Is there a certain type of brush that does not tend to shed? Thanks!
I'm very pleased you have been enjoying my videos. Thank you for watching! The brushes I use are 'food-safe' and so don't shed their bristles. Thankfully!!
@@NenetteChocolates Thanks for the info on what type of brush to buy. I wondered about that small but important detail! Please keep making your videos, they're great!
Thank you for watching and I'm pleased the videos have inspired you to have a go too. I'm afraid I don't know chocolate mould suppliers in Canada - I'm in the UK. However if you search online for 'professional chocolatier's moulds' you should end up looking at the right things. Avoid silicone moulds as these are too floppy to use in the way I demonstrate. You need rigid polycarbonate moulds. Happy hunting! Nenette.
Hi Naomi. Thank you for you message and thank you for watching my video. I'm afraid I can't help you with your question. My experience as a chocolatier doesn't extend to baking. Nenette
If you are using lustre dust it’s best to mix with a little bit of vodka (no taste) and paint it on the cake. The vodka gives it a shine, Best to paint it on fondant but you can paint it on buttercream or Royal icing if it is set. I do a lot of baking and cake decorating with my sister.

Hi Nenette, I would like add a shimmer to my chocolate ganache cake. Is it possible to use lustre dust? If so, should I use dry or mix with a liquid?
