Hi everyone.. I am going to make the ever popular tree stump cake with the plaid cakes inside.

What is the best colouring system you have used? I currently have Wilton gel pastes, and have to mix a few colours to get the burgundy colour. I also will have to colour one layer black

You want to make sure your coloring isn't just for icing otherwise it may not handle the heat of baking. I've been using Americolor and have had good experiences with it.

I use powders. They are very cheap and I need very little.
