My father in law went to great lengths to provide me with all the essentials needed to air brush my cakes - he couldn't just go onto a website that sells the whole kit and kaboodle - "they don't have guarentee's", he pieced the whole thing together - WAY more than I wanted... however, now that I have all this I really don't know where to begin! Could you all please share techniques and tips and tricks that might help me get the hang of this. I am very excited to start air brushing and know there are many talented people on cc that can help. Thanks very much...sue

Well, I just tried mine for the first time the other night and it was awesome. I am not an expert and I don't have any cool tips. All I can say is put the color in and start spraying. Practice on paper towels, paper, cardboard or whatever. Good Luck!

I have to agree... practice, practice, practice. When you finally move to cakes, your icing will need to be room temperature. I would start with easier stuff... clouds, water, sand... nothing with really crisp borders. Remember, airbrushing does not cover anything - any flaws in the icing will show through the colors. Work in layers and don't judge yourself to harshly.

Good luck!
