Dorit Tabori replied to Shanna's discussion How do you paint on fondant and gum paste? or can you?"You can easily paint on your gumpaste. Mix food coloring or dusting powder with a little alcohol and paint with regular paintbrushes (I use separate brushes for painting on foodstuff). You can use any clear alcoholic beverage, like Wodka, Gin, Ouzo…"
Eileen S replied to Shanna's discussion Can you ship a cake if so how?"I wouldn't do it - but I HAVE heard that the best way to ship it is in a box with a CLEAR lid so the parcel carrier can see what's inside! They then tend to treat it a little nicer. :)"

Sheila Borden replied to Shanna's discussion How do you paint on fondant and gum paste? or can you?"Hello
I have used the colored jels but prefer the airbrush paints, there much more opaque and do dry fast. I used them to paint the teacup in my photo album. Easy clean up as well if you make a mistake you can use a q tip dipped in a tiny bit…"

Toni Ellingsworth replied to Shanna's discussion How do you paint on fondant and gum paste? or can you?"Using the colored food coloring is just like using the petal dust. I use it for coloring my buttercream, fondant and for painting. It's typically less expensive then petal dust also. "
Shanna replied to Shanna's discussion How do you paint on fondant and gum paste? or can you?"Oh I wish you would if it wasn't for you I would have never learned how to make fondant along with the butter cream etc. I have seen the petal dust with the powder stuff. The gold high lighter is that how they get gold?

Eileen S replied to Shanna's discussion How do you paint on fondant and gum paste? or can you?"I've never used the powdered food colors. I do use petal dust for flowers, but that's about it. And the gold highlighter comes as a powder you mix with vodka.
It does dry fast as long as you don't use too…"

- As for the royal icing problems, my first guess would be that you had a little grease of some sort left on utensils or bags. That is a sure fire way to keep royal icing from getting hard! If you have previously made buttercream using same bowls, spoons, ect. or in a reusable icing bag, I am willing to bet there was some left behind! It is so greasy, I usually have to take a paper towel and wipe down really good after items have already been cleaned! Let me know if that works!!!!

- Hi, no never used gumpaste, it looks soooo daunting. hahaha! I currently use a lot of ganache, glaze and whipped cream. This weekend, I learned to make chocolate leaves. I will post a picture. I decided to start with buttercream icing and get a proper hang of it. I am also trying to get better icing equipment than I currently have. Then I will move on to gumpaste :-) All the best, let me know how it goes.
