I have an order for a cupcake bouquet this weekend. She would like the "flowers" aka cupcakes to be frosted white but colored with the colors from her baby invitation. The colors are a muted pastel--not too bright.
I have the spray color in the cans, but they are too bright. Is there anything I can do with say Luster dust or my airbrush to get the muted pastel colors look onto the white frosting ?? Maybe a dusting with some non toxic chalk--if I could find the right colors ??
It would be easier just to frost them the color, but that is not what she wants. 
Thanks !!
Weird that she doesn't want them to be "colored" the pastel colors. Some folks are convinced that if icing is colored it will taste different.....but these would literally take a TAD of color since they're pastel.
If she insists on coloring/spraying them....my airbrush color kit came with "white" color and I'm sure you're supposed to add it to your color to "lighten" it. So, you could place several drops of white in your airgun, then add just one drop of whatever color (blue, red, yellow) and it should come out a very light pastel color!
Did you ask her why she doesn't want the icing colored? I have gotten requests for that....but only when the colors were royal blue, royal purple, black or red red, which I can understand for stain-control reasons!
