I'm working on a cake for friday and have a big chair made out of RKT and covered in pink modeling chocolate (choc. was white and I colored it) - came home today and the color on one side is fading! What can I do? Guess I left it to close to a window but not sure how to fix it. Should I paint the whole chair? Don't really want to.... What about luster dust over top? Not sure about that either, every time I use dust I think it doesn't look right.

Sigh...any ideas?!?!

Dusting will help. Keep it in the dark once you are done. Next time you colour something pink or purple add 1 tsp baking soda per pound of fondant, gumpaste or modeling chocolate. It will help to keep the colour from fading.

Are you able to peel it off and re cover it?
If not, what about doing a second, thinner layer?

There's a non-fade purple and non-fade pink on the market that I really love. I would airbrush it. If you go to any large craft store, their cake decorating department usually has a few cans of airbrush spray, Duff's and Wiltons.

Thanks for the tips....I guess I will dust it and hope for the best. I had already finished the piece before the fading started so air brushing isn't really an option as my main figure (sully from monsters inc.) is already sitting in the chair

I'm so disappointed this happened because I was really happy with how it looked originally.
