Painting Your Chocolate Dipped Strawberries Gold

Hello everyone, I'm Dion and welcome to my channel 901 cravings and today I'm going to show you how to paint

your

strawberries

with sauce. Now, as you can see, my berries are already

dipped

, but I will make a separate video soon on what

chocolate

I use. use and how I dip my berries some items we need of course the berries to dip omg you will also need a small bowl a brush made to pay in food products imperial

gold

glitter powder as you can see hopefully , the camera will focus haha. and a small cap of vodka to help paint, so now you're probably wondering why I'm using the vodka right, because if you use water with glitter powder it becomes too thin for penguin, the vodka, the rose liqueur and the juice of lemon, which are water-based products, help.

It creates a thick paste so you can paint and also an acid base helps it dry faster. If you use water, what the glitter doesn't try to paint you will have a dancing solution on the berries and it will take forever. for drying and for the berries today we are using imperial

gold

, which is the penguin powder with the best shine to get a layer of solid gold. You have other targets like Spanish Gold, Kings Gold, and Fool's Gold and many different targets if you try to paint with them. don't leave it as they may have a shiny coating as imperial gold Imperial gold is the best to use, it may be a bit expensive now but it is the best and if you are wondering where you can order shiny dust you can order it. buy it online or in whatever city you live in you can go to

your

local bike shop and they will probably have them in stock for me since I live in Memphis Tennessee my local bakery is Mary Carter's which is located on Summer Avenue at White Station. our beat mix is ​​a penguin now when it comes to creating the paint you didn't do it you took your time pour it into the vodka if you just dump it it will become extremely fluid and that's not what you want take your time , pour it. because you want to form a rhythm, not a watery solution but a paste, look, and you just start mixing it slowly, you move away from the walls, you keep going back and forth and it's like I said, take your time to mix it and see. how to start spinning at a pace which is what you want let me add a little bit more just a little bit and I'll call it good so now let's look and see what it looks like on the brush as you can see make it focus nicely . thick rhythm and now that our paint mixture is ready, this paints our berries.

Now I forgot to mention one thing: the glitter powder is completely edible, it is edible and if you are wondering why I don't put on gloves now, two reasons It is a food product so I don't want to touch it with my bare hands and then

painting

with glitter powder can It can be extremely messy, it can get everywhere and it can get thrown around while you are

painting

and stroking, so it's best to protect your hands because once it gets there, you know your hands will be a little shiny for a minute until you wash them, that's okay and Let's paint now, when you want to paint, try to make as many long strokes as you can.

You can make long, consistent strokes, you know, and you use both sides of the brush because now you have gold paint on both sides, usually depending on how you make the paste mixture, if you thin it out too much, you'll end up having to apply more than one coat. or you can just add more luster powder to thicken it and have a little more. Make sure you paint the back side and you'll get it right as you can see nice continuous strokes and I'll call it a good layer now if you see what What I'm doing, I'm using a toothpick to help hold the berry.

A lot of people, I guess, because they have a thinner sword or their fingernails, because they will try to hold it by the stem, but that makes it extremely difficult to hold. Respond cleverly to the pain and you may end up dropping the berry, so it's better to just stick a toothpick in and grab it by the toothpick and the pain, sorry, I went off camera a little bit right there, I was trying to make sure I had that undecided, well, look. as you can see these barriers are all painted now what I'm going to do with these three berries is paint these lines, the beginnings I made are going well now generally you can use a brush smaller than this size for this, but since they are thick lines you can go ahead and use this brush and I'll show you how to do it so rub your brush again and your solution and now don't make the China mistake of trying to paint it that way or you won't do it.

I really can't cover all the blank spots on the berry, the white berry. I'm just trying to paint the line, so what you would do is just paint it down to cover it, like I say, remember to use both sides of the brush. Now you'll just get a white part, but that's really okay as long as you don't go completely over the white part, just make sure you try to stay on the line as much as you can and stay there. We're going to touch up this corner real quick, so now, a quick tip, if you ever see your beat starting to get a little thick, that means you're trying to dry out the song.

I already do it, you just add some vodka again. It's to help loosen it up and you're good and now to make these berries pop even more it's time to use something special and that special thing is disco dust and if you're wondering what disco dust is, disco dust Disco is edible glitter. nothing more than edible glitter you use disco dust if you want to give it a certain shine or color so whatever gift you're making because disco dust can also enhance the color or you can change the color by mixing it. Whatever the color of the candy, there are several ways you can apply disco powder, using a brush straight out of the jar it comes in, using an old disco powder shaker or you can use a pump.

I prefer to use the shaker. because it's more controlled you have two sides you get the flat side where you just shake it down and you have the long side where you shake it crosswise and for these we're going to shake crosswise as you can see the berries on the back is already covered with disco disco since those were playing in white our only head and just for those and while I painted them and now we're going to show you how to apply it, you take it and you just touch it or shake it. I prefer to use a controlled tap and as you can see disco makes hats as you can see everywhere on the parchment paper all you do is fold it and just pour it back in that's it it helps preserve it because disco It's almost five dollars a jar and the jars are only that big and I'd say they're good and bringing some camera a little more and you see the sparkle, the disco powder I use now is known as hologram gold, you get more solid gold .

I like to use holograms because of the color effect they give. Make another one. See guys, and here we go, all packed up and ready to go in the box. Now, like I said, I get all my supplies from Merrick artists, Harry Memphis Tennessee. I will post a link to the website in the description box below.
