re: Painting cake with food paste colours?

I often paint with straight color and then the white color mixed to give me the shade I need. BUT as they said alcohol evaporates. I like lemon extract best, it seems to flow better. I also took a painting demo with Ruth Rickey, she uses vegetable oil in powdered colors to do some of her painting.
