Food paint for cake design

Ready-to-use edible paint

Unlike edible powder, edible paint is ready to use when you buy it . No need to dilute it with food-grade alcohol or lemon juice, it is already prepared to be applied directly with a brush onto 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 clay.

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

You will also find on our site natural food colorings in powder form, they can be used to create edible paint, you will simply need to mix it with a little water.

How to use food paint?

Liquid food paint is very easy to use, just shake the bottle , uncap it, dip the tip of your brush into the paint and apply it to your cake.

Powdered food paint requires more preparation, as it must be diluted with water or food-grade alcohol before brushing it onto your baked goods.

Some tips for using food paint:

Use the right brushes: To apply food 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 should take your time when using edible paint. Start with light, thin strokes to get used to it and to understand the intensity of the coloring. If you want to layer the colors, let each layer dry before adding the next.

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