How Do You Use Icing Spray?

Published in Cake Decorating 1 min read

Icing spray is used by spraying a can of decorating mist onto your cake.

The video provided suggests that using icing spray (specifically "decorating mist" in a can) involves spraying your cake with it. While the clip is very short and lacks detail, it implies a direct application method.

Here's what can be assumed to be part of the process based on typical spray can usage and cake decorating best practices:

  • Shake the Can: Before spraying, shake the can of icing spray well to ensure the contents are mixed evenly.
  • Hold the Can at a Distance: Hold the can about 6-8 inches away from the cake to achieve an even coat.
  • Spray in Short Bursts: Use short, controlled bursts of spray rather than a continuous stream to prevent oversaturation and drips.
  • Rotate the Cake: Rotate the cake as you spray to ensure all sides are coated evenly.
  • Apply Multiple Coats: Apply a thin layer and allow it to set slightly before applying another coat if needed for desired color intensity or coverage.
  • Clean Nozzle: After use, clean the nozzle of the spray can according to the manufacturer's instructions to prevent clogging.
