I have to do a cake this weekend that has cattleya orchids.I wanted to know if I can color them with airbrush color that came with my kroma jet or should I take and add alcohol to my petal dust and airbrush it with that? I don't want to mess up the flowers experimenting so any help would be appreciated Thanks!

you should be able to do it either way. Personally i just use a brush and dry dust to color my gumpaste flowers.

YOU CAN USE EITHER WAY, BUT WITH AIRBRUSH IF YOU MESS IT UP YOU CAN"T FIX IT. I USED POWDER DUST OR NON TOXIC CHALK, (WITH A KNIFE I SCRAP THE CHALK TO MAKE IT POWDER, THEY ARE LESS EXPENSIVE AND COMES IN ALL COLORS thumbs_up.gif )
