Plastic Art Brush

A plastic art brush is a lightweight decorating tool for painting details onto fondant, gum paste, or royal icing using food coloring, gel dyes, or luster dust. The plastic handle resists warping from water-based edible paints, and the fine bristles give you enough control for lettering, petal shading, or hand-painted accents on sugar flowers. Available at Gloria's in Culver City for $0.65, it's a low-cost dedicated brush worth keeping separate from your dry dusting brushes.
