I ordered some blue royal icing roses and when they were delivered
all I saw were white. I need the blue ones for a cake that is being picked up tomorrow.

Think it would be ok to pour some airbrush color into a cup and paint them with a small brush?

Atleast I have some blue color.

why not just airbrush them? if your lucky enough to have an airbrush i would use it!! i would imagine painting would work fine too

You could also probably dust them with different shades of blue color dust, if you have some available.

I tried airbrushing but it really wasnt gtting the job done so I painted them.
So far so good. Just may take forever to dry. Kinda sticky.

After they dry I maybe able to tell whether or not I can use them. Going to make some from buttercream just incase. Which was not what I wanted to do.

Well you can see them in my photos.
Should be the first photo in the bunch.

It looks good in the picture. Did they dry ok?

They came out nice, the cake looks pretty!

I didn't look but I gather these are gum paste flowers? Did you add any alcohol to the food color? That helps with the drying. Also I use a hair dryer to facilitate drying.

Just a coupla thoughts for next time.

Sure you can airbrush them. You also can dust them with petal dust.
