Hi All,
Hope you can help.
I've been asked to make 'Black Bocara' deep red roses and i'm struggling to get the colour right.
The trials keep ending up brown!
Any suggestions??
Thanks
:)
i think i used black powdered color with some kind of super red red gel color -- and the gum paste was soft from all the color but once i got there i wasn't gonna change a thing
get you a deep deep straight up red then after the petals are made/dried brush on the black --
Kaysie Lackey has a tutorial for that style of rose...you have to be a member to see the full video but I can tell you that she says she colored her fondant with Super Red, Holiday Red, and some Violet (to cancel out the orange).
I assume they're Americolor...

(She also uses 4 different dusts at the end...3 of them are reddish and don't really show to be honest, one would've been fine...the 4th is a deep purple which looks great!)
That's great thank you :)
I also have to make Grand prix roses. I'm thinking of an orange base dusted with a mix of red and claret. What do you think?
