How to Airbrush Straight Lines on Fondant
- 1). Fill the plastic container attached to the airbrush with edible paint in the color you desire and according to the manufacturer's directions.
- 2). Ensure that the air is working correctly and the nozzle is free by spraying it in the sink several times to ensure even flow.
- 3). Hold the airbrush away from the object that it is spraying, at a 45-degree angle. The farther away you hold your hand, the fuzzier the line will be, and the closer you hold it, the more crisp it will be. Adjust the distance until you are at the place where you'll achieve the desired look.
- 4). Begin at the bottom of where you desire the line. Begin to release the paint. Slowly move your airbrush upward, keeping your hand steady and maintaining an equal distance from the cake. If going from the side to the top, keep the same distance but rotate the airbrush so it is again 45 degrees from the cake.
- 5). Place the paper along the sides of where you desire the line to be, if you want crisp edges. Move the paper up and down if need be to continue to create the edge.
