How do I layer colors without the whole cake looking poopy brown or black.Yesterday I made a background lime green and wanted to swirl purple like a retro cake.The purple came out almost Black.It still looked funky but what is the secret to doing the colors so they don't mix??

Hi Laurel,
The best way to do this would be to take some wax or parchment paper and cut out your stencil(s). Lay them where you want the retro to be on the cake, use stick pins to hold in place and then spray your background color. Remove the stencil(s) and you will have the white icing and then just fill those spots with your color(s) .
Stephanie,
Can you use a product called Frisket Film instead of parchment paper/waxed paper?
You can use anything that is light-weight and can be cut to make a stencil...don't want to smooch your icing or cake .

The frisket wont stick to crusted BC or fondant.
Sounds like a great idea but I don't use a crusting BC icing...I use WBH and it is soft ..the stencil will stick to it!!! Ah Man......Have to play around I guess.Thanks Stephanie!!!
do the details first, like your swirling purple, then colour in the background. anytime you have layering of colour its going to get darker and darker, and certainly not the colour you want.
What about dusting the bottom of the stencil with ps or cs .
