Just wondering if anyone has used the Wilton or Duff brand color mist?
I have to do a wedding cake the end of Septmeber and they want snake skin print on the middle tier. I have found the stencil I want to use, but am contemplaing using the mist rather then royal icing. I have never used either. Just wondering what is better. Thanks!

I have used both Wilton & Duff brands. I hate them. Trying to use them is what finally pushed me to get an airbrush.
There is very little control of the spary. It basically comes out to fast & too strong. Forget any detail work.

Maybe hand paint over the stencil? or do the buttercream stencil?

There was several demos on using stencils at the ICES convention in Reno recently. Everyone of these people recommended royal icing, buttercream icing, or thinned down fondant for stencil work. It was the general consensus of these people that air brushing and misting can be very frustrating. The people who had the Stencil booth had the same recommendations.
I have used stencils on several occasions but do not consider myself an expert, but I do agree with these people who are experts in this field.
