Hi everyone! How do I make a nice color red for piping and decorating? I've tried wilton Christmas red and red red, I used alot too! It looks to pink, or hot pink.I'd like to make a nice real red color. Thank-you

When I make red I let it sit a day and it darkens up. I also use Americolor red red.

Never tried with buttercream, but it works beautifully with fondant, so maybe you should try. Candymelts, melted.
