This month, we had the chance
to try the fantastic Wipeouts by
Spectrum Flow!There is nothing worse than
making a mistake on one of your
creations. Whether it be the wrong
shade of edible paint, a change
of mind from gold to silver or the
dreaded spill from an airbrush cup,
it can be extremely frustrating –
but mistakes can be erased with
Wipeouts!To test the Wipeouts, we took out a
few different edible mediums to use
on a piece of white sugarpaste; both
alcohol and water based airbrush
paints, food pens, liquid paint (petal
dust mixed with clear alcohol),
metallic paints and concentrated
gel colours.To begin, we mimicked spilt
airbrush paint by dropping a few
different colours onto the white
sugarpaste. From here, we soaked
up the excess using a piece of
kitchen paper and even tried to
wipe it away to show just how
damaging a single drop can be,
particularly with darker colourssuch as black, red and brown.Next, we took one of the Wipeouts
and began gently wiping away
the paint. Both the alcohol and
water based paints wiped away
brilliantly leaving the clean canvas
we started with! We were also
really impressed with the quality of
the wipes in general. The specially
designed interwoven material has
been created to ensure there are
no fibres left behind on your work.
They’re also very strong and hold
just the right amount of moisture.We then moved to liquid paint
which we made by combining petal
dust with cake decorators’ alcohol.
To really test the wipes, we used
a very dark royal blue colour and
although the colour was strong, the
Wipeouts still managed to wipe
away the paint leaving the clean
white sugarpaste again.Our experimenting continued to
edible food pens, concentrated
gel colour and metallic paints;
the Wipeouts erased them all!
Just imagine accidently spelling
someone’s name wrong on acake after using a dark metallic
paint, potentially ruining the cake.
With Wipeouts, you can simply
wipe over, allow to dry (which is
almost immediate) and correct the
error without worrying about the
sugarpaste becoming sticky.Overall, we couldn’t be more
impressed with Wipeouts by
Spectrum Flow. They’re incredibly
easy to use, remove mistakes on
sugarpaste, marzipan, chocolate,
etc., don’t leave behind any fibres
or create sticky marks, dry almost
instantly and can even be used to
clean your airbrushing equipment,
surfaces and other tools! Highly
recommended!Find out more:
