To prevent puddles or balls at the beginning or the end of each line, 
barely pull back airbrush trigger when starting a stroke and only release 
the trigger after you finish the stroke. 

o

 

Dots and Circles: To create dots, hold the airbrush close and with low air 
flow and then just barely pull back the trigger, but release it quickly.

 

To 

make larger dots or circles, adjust your spray distance and the pull back 
and speed of the triggering. 

 

Stencils and Templates:

  

o

 

Simply airbrush around or through stencils and objects placed on the 
cake to create all sorts of colorful design effects.  

o

 

Create your own stencil out of paper by cutting it into desired shapes or 
tear the paper in half, then airbrush over the torn edge to make clouds 
and mountains.  

o

 

Use of a cookie cutter makes repeatable designs and patterns easy. 

o

 

When using a stencil always remember to hold the airbrush at a 90 
degree angle over the stencil to achieve a good, clean sharp edge. If you 
hold the airbrush at a 45 degree angle color will bleed or seep under the 
stencil making the design look hazy or over sprayed. 

Cleaning the Airbrush Between Colors:  

 

Empty the left over color from the airbrush cup into a sink, water bowl or spray it 
out onto a paper towel, then rinse out the airbrush cup with clean warm water 
from the sink or from a squeeze bottle filled clean warm water. Refill the 
airbrush cup with clean warm water then spray the airbrush until the fluid runs 
clear, now you are ready for the next color. 

 

Always clean the airbrush between colors. Adding a new color without cleaning 
will lead to color buildup in the nozzle and the old color mixing with the new one, 
creating a muddy color. 

 

The airbrush can clog if you allow color to dry inside of it.

colors. Perfect to use on cakes, fondant, gum paste, pastries, sugar paste, icing,
