I got an airbrush for my birthday and used it for the first time this past week-end for my grandson's birthday cake!! I LOVED how easy it was to use!! I colored the treasure chest and the parrot's head with my airbrush. This is how it turned out:
I'm so excited! Just had to share!
Happy Birthday and congratulations on your birthday gift! I got one for my birthday last month, too, and I love it! Your cake looks marvelous!
It's a KopyKake Airmaster Plus system. This is my first time trying the technique, so I can't tell you how it compares to other brands, but I really like it!
This is the one that I would choose if I could afford it right now. I did some research on the airbrushes some time back and I found this one to be the best in my opinion. So happy for you, GRAMMASUE!!
WOW!!!!
What an awesome cake. Such talent!!! Do you have a particular area that you use your airbrush? I heard it can be really messy. What's your take on this?
If you mean work area - I just used my kitchen island and covered the area under the cake with paper. (I used large sheets of tissue paper, but newspaper would work also) I didn't have too much overspray - not as much as I expected.
Hey Sue! I saw your cake on Wilton yesterday....just fab! I'm so jealous! I wanted the KopyKake Airmaster Airbrush, but got a generic one instead....it's fine, but not an Airmaster! What airbrush color did you use to achieve such a nice brown on the chest? Mine's a horrible dark brown that I hate....or is it two colors layered that you used?
....so now I need to buy one, I hear so much about the KopyKake Airmaster plus...
Cammie: My gift included a box of the large bottles of Kopykake airbrush colors - the set of nine. I used the brown color from that set.
wgoat5: My airbrush was a gift, but I do know that you can order them from Kopykake's website.
Thanks again everyone, for the nice comments!
Do you need much of the food color to do the airbrushing? I mean do I need to get the big size bottles of the color or will the 2.5 oz bottles do if I don't do a whole lot of airbrushing?
It took a relatively small amount of the liquid color to make the treasure chest. I think the small size bottles would last quite a while, especially if you don't do a lot of airbrushing. I would recommend that size to start with. In fact, a set of the 3 primary colors (red, blue,yellow) comes with the airbrush system.
