Cooking / Culinary
This is from a recipe for an Easter cake, including a chocolate mixture applied using a decorating gun. The chocolate mixture consists of cocoa butter and baking chocolate:
Fondre ensemble les ingrédients.
Pour une pulvérisation "velours", utiliser un mélange chaud (40/45°C) et le pulvériser sur un support congelé. On peut utiliser ces mêmes recettes pour donner un aspect brillant et lisse sur des montages ou pièces artistiques à condition de leur faire subir une courbe de température adaptée à la couverture utilisée.
Thanks!

For a velvet look on any mousse desserts, cakes and semi-frozen ice cream. Keep the product at room temperature for at least 2 hours before using. Shake well before using. Spray a thin, even layer of product from a distance of about 8"/20cm. Clean the spray nozzle under hot running water after each use. If the tip becomes clogged, run under hot water and if necessary, use a toothpick or pin to unclog. Velvet spray must be used on frozen products

CHOCOLATE SPRAYING (I'm hooked !)
Points and Technicalities
§ Electric spray guns can be bought from your local DIY store and can be an effective starting point in spraying chocolate. Keep clean by running through with hot cocoa butter or vegetable oil after spraying is complete.
§ Airbrushes and spray guns should always be warmed to approximately 40°c before use.
Clean these through with hot water.
The end result will not give you a high gloss, but more of a ‘velvety’ or satin finish. The evenness of the finish will depend on your skill level.

Velvety dusting
Dusting is the common term for sprinkling fine powdery foodstuffs onto cakes.

Refers to the process of lightly sprinkling a fine layer of a powdered or granulated ingredient onto food. For example, a cake may be dusted with sugar, powdered sugar, or spices as a final decoration or to add flavor. Dust can also refer to the process of dusting a pan with flour in prepareation for baking.

If you think velvety might not flow well into the English you could try:
"soft dusting"
"smooth dusting"
(Although I like the sound of velvety)

Example sentence:

: "Pulvérisation" is spraying rather than dusting.

Of course Pulvérisation is spraying, but in UK cooking terms, we do not say spraying unless we are talking about the moment we actually press the button of the canister..
