hey i would like some tips on air brushing.i mean what do you use to air brush. i've seen it done in bakeries with a machine. if their is another way that ican do this at home let me know.

Hi adriane,

I'm a licensed Nail Technician and I love to airbrush. Unfortunately, the style is outdated in my area so my machine is setting collecting dust. I haven't had time to take it out and clean it up to try on cakes...even brought a color to use.lol

Michael's, Kopykakes and Badger sells them. I purchased mine from Badger.

Good luck!!!

If you would like to try out airbrushing without the cost of buying a machine, I would suggest trying either the Wilton or Betty Crocker spray cans of edible icing "paint". The Wilton ones are available at craft stores and the Betty Crocker ones are at the grocery stores. If you do invest in an airbrush, you will need to also buy airbrush food color, the only place I have found that is online.

The spry cans are good, I just used them today on a cake.. its in my pics if you would like to see ...
The icing is not all that flat but I like it...

I use an overhead projector along with my airbrush and have for 16 years .... don't know how I'd deorate without them. They're quick, easy, economical, and the number and types of patterns you can spray paint onto a cake are literally endless. The colors last forever with most cakes only requiring 2-3 drops of a particular color
