Top tips for painting Sugarpaste with Cake Art Paint:

Prepare your surface

• Make sure your sugarpaste is smooth and slightly firm (leave it to set for at least a few hours after covering).
• Avoid painting onto soft fondant, as the brush may leave marks or even tear your sugarpaste.

Shake & mix paint well

• Edible paints can settle, so shake the bottle thoroughly.
• Add a little into a dish or palette, this keeps the main pot fresh with no contamination.

Apply your design

• Use fine brushes for detail work (like lettering, florals, or patterns).
• Larger brushes are ideal for big washes of colour or abstract strokes.
• Gently dab or stipple the paint, this helps achieve a richer finish.

Dry & protect

• Allow painted areas to dry fully before touching or adding further decoration.
• Keep the cake in a cool, dry environment.
