Want To Write On Dark Fondant With A White, Silver Or Gold Edible Marker Or Paint?!
Decorating By dloech Updated 3 Aug 2014 , 1:41am by dloech
Trying to write words on a blue fondant covered cake. Only light marker I found online is available in Australia (i'm in the US). Also found a tutorial how to make a white edible marker but looks like it took FOREVER.
Any suggestions? Ala the cake below. Thanks!
Maybe someone's selling a white marker finally, not sure. But if making one takes so long, it it were me, I'd get started right away Unless you are really good with a paint brush, of course
Also, sometimes people will do things on fondant that are not edible with the understanding that it will not be plated. If you go that route, I would definitely try and find a white marker labeled non toxic.
AThat looks like silver paint to me? Just the shine on the side made me think that.

No.. but honestly, I would advise against a marker.... It's really hard to write without pressing down, so you'd end up dragging the pen along. You can do it... but I think you'd end up ruining your fondant.
I would get a very fine paintbrush, and use silver paint, edible of course. It's also easier to paint vertically, than it is to write neatly, vertically.
But then, it's up to you, have a try of both and see which you feel better with?
Good luck x
I have used a pen like this before to paint / write on cakes. Usually I will fill the pen with vodka and then dip it into my luster / petal dusts, but it might work if you put titanium white food color in there.
