Problem With Airbrushing Buttercream Cake Black
Decorating By perfectcakebyshirley Updated 25 Feb 2011 , 1:52am by perfectcakebyshirley
This is the first time I am airbrushing a cake. It's iced in buttercream (it's a Darth Vader cake) and I airbrushed the whole thing black. But, I'm noticing that after it's been sitting for awhile, it's starting to turn green! Do I need to use more color, or is something else going on?
Hopefully you used chocolate buttercream, and spray it a few more times.

speaking of which, if you didn't use choc. BC you may want to try hitting the cake with a layer of brown airbrush (and again with the black)- the brown will balance out any green tones going on. In fact when I make black icing, I always add red gel along with the black to remove any blue/green-ishness (lol-I just made up a new word, I think)!
lol, yep, new word. A thread should be started on the new words we come up with.
I'm using Kroma Kolor ink. That's a good idea with the brown - I'll try that next time. In general, do I have to be careful about colors fading to another shade, or is it just with the black?
