How To Avoid Streaking When Painting On Fondant
Decorating By Charmed Updated 27 Apr 2011 , 5:58pm by KimAZ
when I paint fondant there is always streaking and I can see brush strokes even If I use a bigger brush. I have tried gel colors and paste and even luster dust and always I get streaks. Is there Anyway to avoid this?
thanks
I learned a trick that Michelle Bommarito taught in a class. Instead of using a brush, use a sponge to paint the color on the fondant. To get into the small spaces, just cut the sponge to small pieces and dab the color on. It works perfectly with luster dust mixed with alcohol too.
It's amazing how well the color goes on and there are no streaks at all!
Hope that helps!

What kind of sponge would you use? Kitchen sponge, sponge paint brush or sea sponge like you use for wall painting treatments?
Who knew there would be so many sponge variations. I am definitely sponge worthy!

Okay, I got the joke, Elaine! lol
The sponges we used in her class were a thick density foam. I don't know what kind or brand though. I am quite sure those little white make up sponges would work just fine. Just something without the holes.
