Liquid food paints
Edible paints to apply with a brush for adding detail, creating a patina, or enhancing a fondant or chocolate decoration.
Painting with a brush
Ready to use or dilute, these paints are applied in thin coats to add a patina to a raised design, highlight a sculpted detail, or cover an entire surface. They complement gel or powder colorings, which are mixed into the mixture.
Drying and layering
Let each coat dry before applying the next. Layering shades lets you create depth or a metallic patina effect, with no need to wait more than a few minutes between coats on a dry surface.
Frequently asked questions

Dry fondant, dry iced cookies, chocolate.
How many coats should I apply?
One or two thin coats are usually enough; use more for an opaque metallic effect.
