I've done a couple figures with the white speck, I've used fondant. Is there
something else the rest of you use? I've looked for a white color gel but did not find such a thing. Does Americolor or another brand make white?

Americolor do a Bright White color, here's the link to it in the CC shop (though it's sold out at the moment):

How about a single white "sprinkle?" Must be hundreds of them in your typical package of mixed sprinkles.

Buy americolor bright white, it is the best. you can also mix it with other colors and paint on a darker color fondant. I love it!

What is that icing whitener product called that is made by Wilton, White White? It is a liquid, I just dab the end of the paintbrush in a little bit of the white and touch it to the eye of the figurine.

Shirley - I have a bottle here - it is called "Icing Color White - White". I have only used it to lighten icings and it works great for that.

I use just a tiny bit of Americolor white with a very fine 0 brush.

If what you painted over was white, you can take a knife or skewer and "flick" off the color to get back to the white. (kinda like scraping out in watercolor to get back to the white of the paper). But if your object was made using a base color like o flesh tone or something else then, yeah I would use the white coloring with a very small brush or even the tip of a skewer to place that there.

I have used that white Wilton cookie icing..the one that comes in the squeeze bottle (looks like white glue)...I bought it before I ever made decorated cookies and found out about good icings..it tasted horrid but I couldn't throw it away..works great for those little white spots in the eyes..on the end of a toothpick....I also coated a fondant bird with it...gave the bird some texture.... so it does have it's uses..

thanks everyone! My local cake store does not have the white Americolor, I'll have to order it online.

Aww heck, I just had a thought,
If you have some royal hanging around doin nothin, you could use that!!!
