Take brushes for dusting or painting on flowers and cakes as a great example. Many of us will have noticed that make-up brushes are great for petal dusts – a whole range of shapes and sizes.

What type of paint brushes are food safe?
Soft, synthetic bristles are food-safe for all decorating applications. Paint and blend larger areas and make broad, bold strokes with the wide flat brush.
Can paint brushes be used for food?
Brush On The Sauce A small synthetic-bristle paintbrush can be invaluable in the kitchen. You can use it to brush on pie glaze, marinade and sauces while baking or roasting. You can also use it to paint on the barbecue sauce while grilling burgers and steaks in the great outdoors.
What brushes to use for chocolate?
You can use regular paint brushes when painting with chocolate or cocoa butter, but be sure the fibers of the brush aren’t loose or you’ll end up with extra garnishes on your treats.
How do you make buttercream sparkle?
Do: Use Luster Spray Luster dust comes in a few different forms, but luster spray is the easiest and most pain-free way to make your buttercream shine. If you try to brush luster dust onto your buttercream (like you would with fondant), your brush would get covered in buttercream and mess up your design.
Can you mix luster dust in royal icing?
Fill a small container with about a half teaspoon of luster dust. Mix the dust with grain alcohol or very strong vodka (at least 150 proof). I use alcohol when I make gold royal icing because it evaporates very quickly, which means that the liquid won’t dissolve the icing as you are applying the paint.
What if I don’t have a basting brush?
You can use lettuce, celery, and sprigs of various herbs as a makeshift brush for savory dishes. Use leafy green “basting brushes” for marinades, sauces, and oils when basting meats or vegetables. You can even pick herbs straight from the garden to baste meat on the grill.
