Airbrushing Cakes & Colour Painting

Go back to cake materials

Airbrushing is method used by most professionals in the cake making industry.

Airbrushes are small tools that spray a very fine cloud (nebula) of ink or paint. Using an airbrush to decorate cakes is a fairly modern concept. Before airbrushing, cake colouring was done by mixing in food colourings. The downside of this is that it took along time to do, was wasteful and sometimes the colour may not be even across the entire cake. Airbrushing a cake is fast, efficent and fun! A minimum amount of colouring is needed to decorate and cover the cake, and also makes contemporary decoration easier. The result is a very high level of decoration and colour.
