Hey! icon_smile.gif I can't find the answer to my question anywhere, but I know you guys know best! What is the best way to paint designs onto fondant? Should I just paint using straight food color gel? Or should I dilute it somehow, or is there something else I can use? Thanks!

Use dust or powder colors and clear vanilla or vodka. It acts like the water colors we had as children. ~Rachel

What is the ratio of vodka to dust?
