Faye Cahill Wedding Cake – 95% Alcohol for the lustre

Hi
Does anyone know where to buy 95% alcohol or similar in the UK (Faye suggested Rose Spirit)?
I have tried without any luck online so I must be searching wrong?
My local Pharmacy had no idea either.
Can anyone help please by
– suggesting a UK online company that sells it
– or is it called something else which I could search for
– or what else could I use instead of alcohol (to manually apply using a brush like Faye did – not airbrush)
Thank you.

Hi

I may be wrong but think Rose spirit is only available in Australia.

In the UK an alternative would be to use dipping solution or rejuvenator spirit (99.9%) available from most cake supply stores, or clear alcohol like vodka but it will not dry/evaporate as quick.

Thank you I will give rejuvenator spirit a try as I’ve tried vodka etc and yes agree it doesn’t dry quickly.
