Cassie Brown Airbrusher Review
We
make A LOT of cakes in this house hold and I tune in regularly to Americas Duff
Goldman programme Ace of Cakes. After the first time of watching this I started
lusting after am airbrusher and needless to say the more I watched the more I
wanted! Thankfully they have become increasingly more affordable so hobby
bakers can now afford their own.
The
leading brand for this is Cassie Browns Airbrushing kit which I’m reviewing
here.
The
kit which retails at about £100 comes with a classic user-friendly gravity
feed airbrush with a mini compressor with three pressure settings, airbrush
holder, a starter pack of 3 colours and an airbrush cleaner and a free DVD “a
beginners guide to airbrush cakes” is also included.

So how did it do? Well the free DVD is fabulous
I have to say. Incredibly professional and step by step instructions. Not what
you normally get as a free dvd! The guide claims you can open the box and start
within minutes and I have to say I agree! The steps are simple to follow and
within two minutes I was spray testing.
You can use the 3 colours to make a huge range
of colours which pleased me. You don’t have to start off spending money to
produce a gorgeous cake. I would recommend though mixing up a large amount and
topping up the bottle so you don’t run out half way through!
Its worth making a little tent around you when
you start spraying as its very fine and some of its travels. I didn’t realise
this until I started wondering why my bread machine looked slightly blue! It
produces a lovely fine spray so no blobs and I was rather impressed how quickly
it dried. You could layer up the sprays fairly quickly I thought. No hanging
around waiting. It also means that if you make a mistake (Which I did first
time) you can easily correct it (fabulous for my stress levels!)
I haven’t tried finer details yet but reading
other reviews it allows you to produce some incredibly results! I think I might
just lock myself away with it for a week!
