Color-flow method

Thanks to Joanne Clifton (Fredericksburg, Texas) to share with us how to use the method of color flow.

Color flow method is so easy! You take 1/4 cup and a teaspoon of water and add 4 cups of sugar powder and 2 spoonfuls sour flow of Wilton color or the Meringue powder and beat it at low speed for 5 minutes. While travailler work with parts, keep covered with a damp cloth if it is not harden on you.

Use full strength to expose your design. Make sure that your design is on a flat surface and free of wrinkles, covered with parchment or waxed paper. Let the contour to dry for at least two hours. After highlighting with what darker, you prefer, add color to the additional amounts and thin about 1/4 cup with 1/2 TSP both water until it flows easily.

Let each color crust dry till before adding another. Let any project dry at least 24 hours. If the precipitation, you can dry in half the time with a heat lamp. Move the play dried on the table and slowly remove the parchment or wax paper.

Of course more area that is made, the overtime, it may take to dry completely. I make them generally a few days to a week in advance to make sure that they have completely dried. It is easy to do, just need patience for drying, but efforts.

I love the color stream. I found a page of staining with a character of precious moments and extended it until he was in the area of the valuable development pan head. Wilton of moments

Cut out the area and placed on the pan to make sure it was the right size and then placed on the back of a cookie, covered with parchment and used paper plate recipe for flow-1/4 cup of color over a teaspoon of water added to 4 cups of sugar powder and 2 tbsp flow or meringuecolor powder and beat it 5 minutes on low. It is about 2 cups of mixture.

Coloured on eight black of Cup and used a number 3 tours of advanced to describe the image. Whereas 2 hours for contour set. Keep the mixture with a wet towel to prevent hardening.

Mixed about 1/4 cup with desired color and then added water 1/2 TSP both for consistency to the flow in the tube of pastry and indicated areas. Expected again between colors so it at least the crust, so it would not execute black in flesh tones, etc.

When I was across the image, waited almost 48 hours to be completely dry. While he was ready, I prepared the cake of precious Moments and designed to be a girl made her first communion and when, added a border of flowers of peak star with number a turn of-the-art centres.

I forgot to say that I free released the book, flowers in her hair and completed in stream color and iced his hands to hold the book.

First communion cake was made for a boy and a girl, celebrating their first communion. It is a vanilla flavoured sheet cake, divided with raspberry jam with a second layer of chocolate that everyone is not their favorite.

The decorations of the boy, girl, Calyx with host and angel were stream color that I used a heat lamp to speed up the drying process.

Usually, I let go 2 hours between the contour and add the thinned mixture, but found with the lamp of heat 30 min was sufficient.

Instead of a day to any dry design, it took only a few hours with the lamp of heat. Used a border of Shell to expose the cake. Candy added melt crosses on each side for more.
