Hallo everyone!
I just wanna share thing which i "discovered". Im sorry if I discovered something what already was discovered icon_smile.gif
Paint on fondant with brush.
I always had trouble to paint on fondant because gel colors are very concentrated, so u need to use something thin them. Everywhere i was reading about use of alcohol, well, I just dont like it at all, I still can taste the alcohol there icon_sad.gif I know there is not recomended water , but dunno why. Well I use water, but just to thin the color so i have usable color (not thined red is almost black...etc.) To make the color paintable and dry fast I add in the "colored water" powder sugar, as much as it is thick like, let say butter milk. It really nice to paint with it, It dryes fast.
I use this to paint ornaments, mouths on figures and stuff like that.
Im sorry if I wrote here somthing what you already know, but maybe this help to somebody. And sorry bout my english, iIm not native US icon_smile.gif
