Unlike food powder, edible paint is ready to use when you buy it . No need to dilute it with edible alcohol or lemon juice, it is already prepared to be applied directly with a brush to your pastry. Of good professional quality, it is easy to use and dries quickly. It can be used to paint dry surfaces such as a cake made of sugar paste or marzipan, a biscuit covered with royal icing or a figurine made of modeling paste.

In the same vein you can find food grade markers, which are intended for the same use as food grade paint, but these are finer and ready to use. Using the two utensils can be practical to draw a sketch on the cake and then color it with paint.

Some tips for using edible paint:

Use appropriate brushes: To apply food grade paint you need food grade brushes specially designed for cake decorating. Brushes with soft, fine bristles will allow you to create precise details without smudging.

Apply the paint carefully: Like great painters, you have to take your time when using edible paint, start with light, fine strokes to get used to it and to understand the intensity of the coloring. If you want to layer colors, let each layer dry before adding the next.

Clean the brushes between each color : This seems logical, but it is important to remember. To avoid mixing colors, clean your brushes thoroughly with lukewarm water between uses. Make sure they are completely dry before using another food-safe paint.
