If I want 4 stacked tiers to be the exact same color buttercream, yet can't make one huge batch (only have a 5 quart KA mixer), how do you ensure all colors are the same?

I know the logical answer is 'measure it' but 1/8 of a teaspoon seems like alot for a batch and that is my smallest measurement.

I am using Wilton food coloring paste gel


Thanks!

Mix each batch separately, then put them all in one really big bowl. Then just stir that together by hand. If you don't have a big enough bowl, take equal amounts of each and mix those by hand. Then keep repeating.

HTH!!!

I had this problem with the star cake I made. All together it was seven tiers of whipped frosting. I went to Target and bought an extra large bowl with a snap on lid. I believe it was made by rubbermaid. I poured all of the carton of Frostin Pride in the bowl and mixed in the gel coloring. This way I could mix one batch at a time and everything would be the same color. The one thing I don't like about whipped frostings is the more you mix or work with it it starts to stiffen up. This is why I rather do each batch separately. I agree make all your batches of frosting and mix in one large bowl.
