Please help me.....

I airbrushed a cake black ( with americolor airbrush super black) and now I want to airbrush and paint over top of it in certain areas but no color shows up! The black just seems to absorb it all. Then I tried to airbrush bright white and everything just stayed black as well. What can I do? Please!!

Sorry, but at this point I waould say recover with white fondant. Start airbrushing with the lightest colour and work towards the darkest. I don't think you have any other option....
Can anyone else suggest something?

you can try adding a drop of white airbrush color to the color then spray to see if that will make it showup over the black. I will test on a scrap piece first.

Only thing to do is recover the cake. Airbrusing with food coloring is opposite as with paint. You have to start with the lightest colors first and then work your way to the darkest colors.

Thanks for all the help. I had no clue but I guess it makes sense.

One more thought....would handpainting with gel colors work?

Thanks again.

you can paint with them, They are best if you thin them down a little with everclear or vodka. they make a great paint. Allow extra time for drying !!!

even with the gel colours you'll need to start with the lightest colour.
