paint? Is there a good format for this? I need it to be thin enough to paint on like an acrylic (not transparent) but thick enough to set up (not run all over and into other colors on my design). I'd like to have a base like MMF or RBC and then outline in black piping then fill in. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

I have always just used my gel colours using iether water of alcohol to thin it for painting...

this cake i did that way and infact i piped first then painted after in between the right places...

Squires kitchen (UK) make a paint called 'Folk Art' which is like acrylic, it' won't run or react with your icing and can be used just like paint. They ship outside UK. This is a link to a set sold by Squires, you can buy them individually as well:
