Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

I have been looking online trying to find the luster colors that Paul uses on the Traditional Christmas cake especially the shale (sp??) the color he uses on the ribbon.  I can’t find them anywhere.  If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

Hi Andrea

The lustres are Sugarflair brand and are available widely online, I got mine from Party Animals online

on ebay, but you can get them at your local sugarcraft shop as well. I made the tradition christmas cake

when Paul first did the tutorial, it really comes up with a very big WOW.

Do you know the name of the color I am looking for?  Is it shale or sherry?  I am from the US so sometimes accents trip me up. The one for the bow?  I was hoping he would have a list of tools he used, but there wasn’t.

Hi Andrea

The one I used is called Claret Wine, Paul used Sherry Shimmer. If you get on the Party Animals online site, they have all

Sugarflair colours listed and also have special offers if you purchase  three or more. If you live in England it might be worth

going to the Cake baking and sugarcraft show at the NEC in Birmingham in November, all the sugarcraft people will be there

to buy from at much less expensive prices.

Thanks so much for your help!  Unfortunately I live in the US!  But at least I can order them online.

You’re welcome.
