I have a cake that I need for tomorrow morning. I have seen airbrushed butter cream before. But I am doing in right now and it isn't going that great. My smoothing job is horrible first of all, so all of the color is collecting in the grooves. And it seems to be getting too wet. I am letting it sit hoping that it will dry, because the color is not nearly as dark as I need it to be. i have only used this fancy machine once, so maybe I am doing it wrong UGH!!!! Please give me some tips please!!!!!! icon_cry.gif

When I airbrush, I prefer applying it in thin coats and letting them dry each time before redoing the area with another coat.

If it seems too wet, you may have been staying in the same area longer than you should, or the sprayer may be too close to the cake.

Thank you miriel. I ended up doing 4-5 coats and the color was perfect.
