Reply to "My flooding tends to mottle"

I would guess that your flood icing is too loose and/or is taking too long to dry, so the colors have time to mottle or bleed before they set up. Try a thicker icing and speed-drying in front of a fan (as you have) or in a dehydrator (better temperature control than in an oven).

I'm also wondering if you have this same trouble with artificial colors, or just the natural? Maybe there's something about the composition of the natural colors that causes them to take longer to dry??
