Can airbrush color or gel be used to pait on fondant? Shoud the fondant be all the way dry?

i dont know about the airbrush paint or gel but i think that youre better off making sure that your fondant has dried before you even try to paint or dust it.

I use gels to paint on fondant, either full strength, or diluted with a bit of vodka. I have painted on fresh fondant and dry fondant - and I prefer painting on freshly applied fondant. The paint is more easily absorbed.

Airbrush color and gel can be used to paint fondant. It does't necessarily need to be dry. Depending on your design or the effect you want, the gel may need to be thinned a bit (alcohol evaporates faster).

I would take a small piece of fondant, roll it out, and try your design.

OK, thank you I will go give it a try. Are there ediable paints that work better then airbrush or gel?

I love using airbrush color as paint. It's very vibrant and consistent. I have used it on fresh fondant, crusted over fondant and gumpaste.

Good luck with your painting.

thank you! I will stick to it then.

What would you use for a silver and or/metallic color?
