I would like to do a tie-dye wedding cake, but how do you do the swirls on such with your airbrush? Is there a template you can get? Hoe do you do it without all the colors running together? Anyone ever try this?

TIA,
<S>

I've been wondering the same thing. In my opinion, the colors won't run into each other unless you put in too much paint. I just realized I made a couple of cakes featuring spiderman and air brushed the spider web, maybe you can create the effect of tie-dye the same way. Let's see: I imagine the tie dye leaves a figure close to the shape of the spider web in the whole cake photo, what would happend if you try to repeat the same shape in the inside, leaving a little of the background to show and bringing the points to the first color? I try to reproduce the effect in the little photo, but this was done with a software i'm not very familiar with so it may not look to good. Hope this inspires and helps you to create a very nice tie-dye.
