Food coloring for use in an airbrush

An airbrush is an essential baking utensil for cake design. It's a real time-saver and opens the door to cake painting, thanks to airbrush colorants.

Its operation is quite simple, it is a gun powered by a bottle of compressed air, the color is filled into the upper container also called "cup" and with a press of the trigger the airbrush coloring is projected onto the cake!

Fortunately, in cake design, we don't use real paint in the airbrush, but liquid food coloring ! The operation remains the same as with traditional paint: we fill the cup with coloring and, with a press of the trigger, the color is projected onto the cake.

It takes some practice , so if you're a beginner, practice before spraying on a cake that took a few hours of your time.

If you want to achieve a coloring similar to that achieved with an airbrush, use food paint; the process is simpler and you're less likely to make mistakes. If you want a more textured effect, you can also use food spray.
