Please help!!!!!! We have been trying to paint on Fondant with the petal dust mixed with lemon extract method. No problem with painting but the colors are vastly different from what we want and what the container looks like. The colors are very intense and dark - for example the apple green turned out kelly green on some parts and moss like green on the other.
The brand name is CK Products Petal dust purchased through Country Kitchen Sweetart Inc.
Anyone ever use these types and colors - any suggestions? We tried to lighten/tone-down them with super pearl dust but it only reduced it by a fraction. I will try to attach a photo.
Thank you!!!!!
Petal dust is pretty much like grated chalk and once wet and used like paint, it does seem much darker than when in powdered form.
I don't use petal dust because the non-toxic chalk pastels are much cheaper, so I use white chalk to lighten other chalk colors before painting with them. I'd bet that you could do the same--buy some non-toxic white chalk, grate it through a tea strainer (small fine mesh strainer) and add it to your colors as you need it.
