hi,
I have a wedding cake in a few weeks that is covered with bright multi-colored flowers that i need to copy in gumpaste. They are shades of red, yellow, orange and light accents of rose. How should i color my gumpaste flowers this way? airbrush them? layers of luster/petal dusts? Thank you

For me it would depend on how much I was being paid and how much time I had. For little money and/or time I would probably use the air brush. If I was getting paid decently then I would star with light colored gumpaste and the dust them to be darker. Passing them through steam after they have dried will enhance the color, take away the dusty look, and make them look more like fresh flowers.

I actually like to start all of my colored flowers with colored gumpaste and then darken and highlight with dust. Don't skip the steaming it makes all the difference.
