For those who paint on their cakes what do you use for that? Is there a special edible paint or do you simply mix food coloring with alcohol? Can you paint on buttercream and what about gumpaste....thanks so much for any input
Hello momma, I use powdered food color mixed with either a clear alcohol ievodka or gin), or lemon extract. I find the alcohol works a bit better and is more economical. If you want to you can use gel color not diluted but it will take forever to dry and may leave a bad taste. As for painting on B.C. I have yet to try that, so I dont know how or if you can do it. Good luck and hope this helped. Cheffie
I use the gel color diluted with a very tiny amount of water so that it will dry. It works fine for me.
If you want to paint on BC you might be best to airbrush it, so you don't dent your icing with the brush.
Wilton gel with lemon, like isabow1 said...just be careful not to get too 'heavy handed' with the paintbrush....! hth

I agree!! I have discovered that if you glob on too much it stays tacky.
