hi...can anyone plz tell me how to get the buttercream icing red? i need to ice a pokeball cake and cant get the icing red enough no matter how much red colour i use, it still stays dark pink, even though i tried leaving it for sometime since the colours do get darker w/ time. I only have wilton colours so how do i go abt that? thanks
I've heard that using a powder type coloring works the best for a true red
I am not sure what you can do for now although the Kool-aid idea sounds like a good idea. For future referance, I strongly advise buying Americolor True Red. This stuff is awesome and you really do get a true red with little color.
Yes, icing with too much red or black coloring will have a weird, nasty taste. That is why Wilton makes a no taste red. But I do not have this problem when using Americolor because you do not need to use a lot of gel to get the desired color. If you want a black icing, first start with a chocolate buttercream, you will end up using a lot less black gel.
got this tip from my Wilton instructor years ago --- combine the red no taste with both the christmas red and a little bit red red ... then let it sit for at least a day
depending on what kind of BC you are using, this trick works everytime with her altered version of the wilton class recipe
