Hi, How do you paint on fondant but not leave the brush strokes? Do you use more extract? Ive seen some cakes that look like they are painted thick and the brush strokes dont show. (sort of like Collette Peters cakes)Any suggestions?????

some of them might be airbrushed, but the better your brush is, the less stroke marks you'll have make the color a little bit thicker and use a nice brush you might have to put a few lighter coats on to get the effect you want, and then well I also have used the brush to put the color on and then used a paper towel to blend the color in and get rid of the marks.

Thanks.......Ill try that

I painted the entire Colette style cake in my album and had very few brush strokes. I use sable brushes and I only paint with lemon extract. The oil in the extract helps to diffuse the luster dust. I get more brush strokes when I use petal dust. Also, you have to get the consistency of the mix just right. If you get it to thick, you'll just get clumps and brush marks. I also repaint over, and over, and over, until I get a smooth and consistent color. Sometimes that means taking some of the luster dust off.

Good luck.
