i used them one time (on my super heroes cake -page 2). i think it really all depends on the look you are going for. i do not think that you will get an precision painting....no distinct lines or design. in my opinion, this is more for spraying a cupcake or sheet cake or entire cake surface. dont hold it too close because you'll get the cake too wet and it will drip. spray far back in even sprays. do it outside if you can (picnic table?) i did it in my kitchen and had blue socks for several days-even though i put down protection on my counter, it floats everywhere.

i definately can say you wont get true airbrush effects with this. on my cake, i toiled for an hour or so using a stencil to get mine done. not worth the effort.

Wow, that is a cool cake! I think you could do it. But she is right, if ya hold it too close, it'll run, like a rattle can of paint. But I say go for it!!!

honestly i think that one row wilton spray would be as wide as 3 or 4 of the rows on that cake. also in my experience, i had to go over the color several times to get a darker shade...i used black - several coats an it still looked light grey. youcould do it but it wouldnt be as detailed. that cake was definately the work of a true airbrush!
