Can you paint on fondant with the Wilton Icing Color? Do I have to dilute it? I need to paint some little details on a cake and I didn't want to ruin the cake (hahaha).
Thanks for any advice!!

I think that is possible. You may need to dilute it a bit with lemon extract or vodka to get the consistency you need. Do a test on a little piece of fondant to see if you like the results.

Yes- this works- I've done it. Diluted my colors with vodka. Actually- I did it on the tulips in my pictures. Although it was on RBC- I'd assume it works much better on fondant- since RBC is much greasier! You just need a few drops of vodka- just enough to make it liquidy and paintable. Have fun!

You can paint straight out of the Wilton jar! Looks great.
