I'm not sure how you make the difference between food or icing coloring... Any edible colors will do, and use lemon juice (it's better than plain water) to thin it as you see fit for your project. For this cake I used some gel food color (Wilton, I think) w. the lemon juice. The darker/shaded parts are a second "coat" of color. If you make smth painted I'd love to see it

well i am gonna use the airbrush to help make the spider man head today on a cake(look at the hello kitty its part of the cake i gotta finish)but, what im gonna do since it the 2 time id be using my airbrush thing,make a stencil out of durable paper. Cut out the eyes and the negative space..so i can do red first then silver for his eyes..and connect everything else with black webbing.
(thats just his face..i still gotta icing spider webbs ontop of blue fondant and use whoppers as spiders lol)

Thats why i was wondering if water is ok cause i gotta work with what i got for his face.

thank you i read it..im still gonna try the airbrush machine again but i will draw my spiderman stencil first. all im really doing is making a red area then a silver area then conect everything with icing color.
