Top tips for using a sponge to apply Cake Art Paint:

Prepare your surface

• Make sure your sugarpaste, buttercream or royal icing is smooth and set (firm, not sticky).
• For buttercream, chill until the surface is solid to the touch.

Load your sponge

• Pour a small amount of paint into a dish.
• Dip the sponge lightly and dab off any excess

Apply in layers

• Gently press or dab the sponge onto your cake/bake surface.
• Build up colour gradually with light layers rather than applying too much at once.
