best to use gel colors like I use for icing or food coloring (liquid). made a test of a couple layers using gel and it seemed to slightly change the texture...I know that's possible, and it could also be my imagination. Just wondering if anyone had a recommendation for coloring batter?

TY so much!

I just use the same gel color that I use to color frosting. I use Duncan Hines white cake mix. I have not noticed a difference in taste or texture. Here is one I just did for a party.

Here is the cake before it was cut.

I use the wilton gels and I dont think it changes the texture at all. I guess maybe if you used A LOT but i doubt it. You wouldn't get as insense of a colour using the liquid.
