I've seen on different cakes programs on TV where the decorators hand paint the details on fondant cakes. What kind of paint is used for hand painting? Is it the same as the paint that would be used in an airbrush?

Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions!!

yes, i used airbrush coloring and vodka to paint on my cakes, they work great. have fun

I mix gel food color with vodka and I've had success like that

you can mix gel colors with vodka or everclear.. also you can mix powder colors with vodka or everclear or pure lemon ext.... you can airbrush your fondant cakes with airbrush colors.. and even fondant and g/p peices.. paste colors mixed with alcohol also.. hth

what she ^^^^ she said. You can use the airbrush colours directly (not necessary to dilute it first) and you can mix vodka/everclear/extracts with petal/luster dusts as well.

Thank you for all of the helpful tips. It is definitely appreciated!!!!!
