Here is a short bio Eva shared about herself
I come from Spain but I live in Miami. It wasn't until I moved to Miami when I transformed my hobby in a full time passion. Then I created Makememycake and since then I couldn't stop my craziness about cakes.
My first cake decorating book "Tartas Esculturales" came out last September full of fun and unique designs.

Thanks For All Your Great Tips, Can You Do This To if You Needed, purple, red or green??? or only if you want to change the gold color to a different gold color, Thank You
Veena Azmanov
yes, Carol. You can do these with any color. The effect will depend on the quality of dragees and the petal dust you have. Some dragees take on color well and other not so much. Hope this helps.
