I'm looking to buy powdered colours to paint with instead of blending in the paste. So far, I think Sugarcraft is the main supplier??? I can't seem to find anyone else who sells them? Anyone know if Sugarcraft is any good?
Thanks!

Does anyone use these powdered colours to paint gumpaste? Anyone??

www.sugarpaste.com

Look at the Crystal Color line...accept no substitute!

Thank-you so much! I really had no idea where to start! I'm going to order right away!!

Wow.....$5 for 1/2 an ounce...that's pretty expensive!!

They really are expensive! I wonder if they last longer than the paste colours? They are supposed to be much more vivid and realistic looking...I guess I'll find out! LOL!! /

I love the powdered colors for painting on cakes. Just mix with a little lemon extract, and paint away. I like to let mine sit for a few minutes for some of the extract to evaporate, so the color is a little thicker, that way I dont feel like I have to go over my lines more than once.

Go to http://www.sugarcraft.com/ and go to colors to look for the powdered colors. I bought the set, and then I bought a black and then a white to go with. They werent that expensive.

Well, Blue Devil, I think you have me sold! They really do have an awesome selection of colours!

Jane,

Remember, a little goes a long way. I blot some onto a tissue with a soft brush and then brush it onto my gumpaste flowers. You can experiment with how much you use and how hard you press to get different effects.

They are a powder right? Do you ever mix them with extract and use them as a paint? I'm really anxious to try them, I find mixing colour into the gumpaste doesn't look realistic, but I'm nervous to use them the wrong way and waste them!

I have mixed them with alcohol. It is a very different effect, and really good with their shimmer colors. I usually use them straight as a powder on my gumpaste right after I roll it out and cut it.

Hope that helps.

Thanks very much!
