Air brushing from a can

[mona1949]

On you tube there is a video called decorating a cake. It's a video of someone decorating a cake to look like a hot dog in a bun. The guy uses a can with an airbrush attached to air brush the cake. can anyone tell me where I can buy the cans that he uses? thanks

I went through all 168 comments and found that it's compressed can air. Would that be the kind of air that you buy to blow the dust off your computer? That would be great if it was.

What you guys are talking about is called a Preval Sprayer. You can buy them at Home Depot for about 4 bucks. I noticed on the Food TV's Surprise Engagement Cake Challenge that Marina Sousa had one in her work area.

I've been using mine for about a year, and I love it. I don't shoot pearl dust through my airbrush, so I specifically use the Preval Sprayer just for that. It's a can of compressed air with a glass jar screwed on the bottom. When the can of compressed air runs out, you just buy a new can for about 2 bucks. I mix about 4 grams of pearl dust with 1/4 cup of Absolut Mandarin (I love the way that smells...and when it's mixed with grapefruit juice ~ teehee!). Shake and shoot! Pearl dust GALORE! LOL

So, the glass jar comes with the can of air? do you just put the food coloring in the glass jar also? Does the brush come separate? Thanks.

Yes, the glass jar comes with the can of air, but it is the can of air that does the airbrushing, not an actual airbrush. The color gets sprayed out through the can of air.

It's an aerosol can.

I am making no sense! I should just take a picture! LOL
