Best Airbrush for Cakes and Pastries
The eye eats, as is well known.
Therefore, a beautifully designed cake, whether with fondant, marzipan flowers or cream, is equally appealing and appetizing.
Within the last few years, a new possibility has emerged in the field of baking: Airbrush for pastry and cake design.
In this guide you can find out what this is and how you can use airbrush to create beautiful cakes with food coloring.
You can use an Airbrush for Cakes and Pastries
An airbrush pistol can be used in many different ways.
You can use it not only to airbrush nails, makeup , or tattoo, but also to airbrush for cakes.
With an cake airbrushing machine you can basically conjure up any art form on a cake:
- Fine Ornaments
- Different Shapes and Patterns
- Pretty Color Gradients and Shades
- Complete Images such as Landscapes or Animals
- 3D-Effects
ll kinds of substrates can be sprayed, such as fondant, marzipan, flower paste or royal icing.
However, white roll fondant is best suited for this airbrush technique.
It may sound difficult at first to decorate cakes or other pastries with an cake airbrushing machine, but it is not.
In this guide you will learn what you should pay attention to.
What do you need to know about Food Colors for Airbrushing?
Food coloring for airbrush cakes is characterised by some special properties.
As with all airbrush paints, the paint must not be too thick in consistency, otherwise the airbrush gun will quickly clog.
Therefore the paint should have a high pigmentation.
If the paint is too thick, you can easily thin it. In principle, food coloring in paste or powder form can also be diluted and used.
However, since especially beginners in the airbrush cannot judge whether these pigments are suitable for airbrushing, we would not recommend this.
If the paint is not suitable, the nozzle may clog.
We recommend that you only use liquid food coloring and preferably one that is designated for use in the airbrush gun.
Caution is required when using food coloring on fondant.
Fondant consists mainly of sugar and is therefore softened by liquid colors as these dissolve the sugar.
This causes the fondant to start “sweating” and may even partially dissolve.
The airbrush paint is atomized very finely so that this problem does not occur.
If you want to create more intensive colors, you can apply several layers of paint and let them dry before each new layer.
Every fondant can withstand this fine spray mist.
