How do I get hot pink or fuschia with Wilton Gel Colors? I tried "pink" and "rose" and don't get anywhere close. I thought a ton of "rose" would do it, but I end up with a spastic salmon color.
I will color royal icing and MMF, for cookies.
Got help? I appreciate it!
I used Wilton Rose gel color on the hot pink/zebra striped wedding cake in my pictures. I had to add a ton!! I normally make my MMF and before adding the sugar add the color. This is also how I make black MMF.
Thanks guys!
I will try a small hunk of MMF with more Rose from Wilton. Just to see what I get - since I already have it. I MAY be able to get Americolor at the local bakery supply. She is just a small shop but can get most things from the larger store if I don't want to order online. I'll for sure try the Americolor rose and electric pink.
I appreciate your input!
Have you tried electric pink? I use only the Americolor gels and they work awesome. Their rose one works good for a bright colored pink.
I agree, I use it them for teal and lime colors as well. I love those colors!
To get hot pink I just use the Wilton Rose color and use a lot of it. I just found out the hard way that Fuschia isnt really pink, its more of a purple color. It is actually pink and purple mixed together but tends to come out looking more purple to me. A lady brought me a boa feather to match her cake to that we both thought was fuschia but when I bought a fuschia color, it was to purple. I never did figure out the right color but the lady was very understanding. the fuschia I bought was Americolor but like I said, when mixed with fondant, just looked more purple to me.
I think I probably needed to get the Americolor electric pink to get the color I was trying to achieve. The sad thing is, I have to drive 60 or so miles to get the colors I need. Hard to do when you need something at the last minute.
