You have to used OIL based candy colors not Water paste gels as the candy will seize.Wilton puts out OIL based candy colors in 8 colors.I don't know what else you can use unless you have access to the wilton colored candy melts already..they have several colors including blue.Sorry! |

To get a good blue you have to use white chocolate and oil based colors (you can even use powdered colors) |

I have a cake store that sells a huge array of powdered food coloring for chocolate............I wonder if you have a cake store near you if they would have something like that and they can be toned down by adding white etc. to get the shade you want.........if you have time I'm sure there must be online sources you could go to for these too. |

I make so much colored chocolate, that now I buy all the different colors and then if they need adjustment, I add more white choc. or colors. |

You know what.. I played with ALOT of white chocolate over the weekend.. YES the chocolate will seize when you add a wilton or americolor paste or gel.. I did just that, BUT after you add ur paste or gel just add shortening to it little by little and it will loosen the chocolate.. I did this for the longhorn cake I just did (in my photos).. It worked fine.. Do a little test run and you'll see what Im talking about.. and It hardened just fine.. Good Luck |

Doudoun, you did the right thing--Americolor Flo-Coat with gel paste blue.
I don't know why it turned purple--I can only guess that because white chocolate isn't true white--and the flo-coat has a yellow cast to it, you got purple.
I would try a new, smaller batch and use less color to start. Also, if you have another shade of blue--perhaps royal blue or navy blue, try that.
Hope this helps.
