Color Ready Made Gumpaste Flowers
Decorating By littleredtonya Updated 14 Jun 2007 , 1:48am by jmt1714
I am going to order already made gumpaste carnations from decopac to put on a wedding cake. They are white and I need them to be light orange and yellow. How do I get them that color.
Thanks

Well, I have read on here to use petal dusts. Dust them on and then steam the color to set the color on. ShirleyW is great at explaining this. Lemme see if I can find a post on it. Jen
Here is a couple discussion where ShirleyW mentions how she does her flowers=) She does amazing flowers! Or are you asking what colors to use to get that? If so, hopefully someone else can help=) Jen

Would it be possible to airbrush the color on.
dusting is ever so easy - I use grated pastel chalks that I get from Michaels. Then i steam them over the tea kettle for a few minutes. I have flowers in my photos that all were done that way, even deep colors like red (though I make my own flowers, but the concept is the same for coloroing purchased ones).
I sprayed the hot pink flowers on one of my wedding cakes in my photo gallery with wiltons mist spray can .. worked like a charm!

Are they still considered edible if you use pastel chalks? What kind of chalk do you use?
