If you would like to add a dewy look to your cake flowers, brushing on a bit of luster dust will make them look as if they are wet.
• Fruit: Decorating Cake with orange slices, grapes, mandarin oranges, etc… You can make these fruits look frosted by beating an egg white, and brushing it on each piece of fruit, then dipping it in clear or colored sanding sugar. This has become very popular.
