Shake the can well before use. Hold the can upright and spray from a distance of about 6-8 inches from the surface you are decorating. Apply in light, even coats. For a more intense color, allow the first coat to dry slightly before applying additional layers. You can also experiment with different spraying techniques, such as short bursts or sweeping motions, to achieve various decorative patterns. Ensure good ventilation when using the spray. It is best applied to cooled surfaces.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike food coloring gels or pastes, this spray offers a quick and effortless way to cover large areas or create fine details without direct contact. It provides a smoother finish than some other methods and is less likely to disturb delicate sugar work.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not refrigerate. Ensure the nozzle is clean after each use to prevent clogging. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Dispose of the can responsibly once empty.
