i dont know about the cheapest, i hav eyet to get one for my personal use, but i have worked at different bakeries using them. Go to KOPYKAKE.com and those are some good ones on there, the airmasterplus(the red one) is a good one. The compressor is around 240$ then the airbrush about 110$
Look in recent American Cake Decorator magazines and see if they are still running the Airmaster Plus special -- the whole unit for $200. It's the same special they ran for ICES last summer.
I have an Airmaster, and I LOVE it. The coverage is great (when I was looking into getting an airbrush I heard all kinds of stories about cheaper brushes having spotty coverage), I've sprayed all kinds of frostings and gumpaste and mmf, and it always works great. I did some darker orange and gold gumpaste roses for a wedding cake, and I couldn't get the gumpaste dark enough so I sprayed the roses to the right color after they were dried and you couldn't even tell they were sprayed!
Also, the airmaster has a air control knob on the base so you can control the air flow as well as the color flow on the wand. Some of the smaller compressors don't have that option. (I used to work with a cake decorator that pinched the air hose to control the air flow when she was decorating, so that's an option if you go with a smaller version).
And make sure you order some air brush cleaner along with the compressor and colors. Water works fine between colors, but you'll need the cleaner for rinsing before storage. I forgot to order cleaner with mine and ran all over town (we don't have any cake specialty stores around here or any place that carries air brush supplies) trying to find something that was food safe to use until I could get the real stuff!
I bought two KopyKake airbrushes off of eBay very cheaply ... I'd recommend trying there first.
Hi,
Was looking for a good airbrush brand, and since i find all here raving about airmaster i would consider it, i've seen a lot of cheaper brands with range on 60$ but now after the pitfalls i read about them, i think better to invest in good one.
Thanks for your advice all !
