Airbrushing on cookie that has been air dried vs. by fan

I've had the same experience. The glossier the finish (i.e., if speed-dried by a fan or in a dehydrator), the more the coloring can bead up on the surface. This hasn't been a huge problem for me, but I do notice a difference, so I try to spray more slowly/less liberally when I've speed-dried cookies.

So it might not just be me? : ) I will try to test the air dried version out again. If it works better.. then I will stick with that.

Now that you mention it - yes!! Never put the two together, since I use my fan almost all the time. I have noticed some colors dry nicer than others too.

Interesting... I'd never thought about it this way before.

I use Sweet P's recipe that has corn syrup and glycerin in it.  It's a little more shiny and softer to bite into. 

Do you think that airbrushing on top of icing with these ingredients will have the same effect (color not "sticking") as airbrushing on a fan/dehydrator dried cookie?

Thanks!
