I've put probably 1/4 a bottle of red red wilton paste in about 1 1/2 cups of buttercream. Can someone help me? Is there a trick? (Before I throw this cake out the wondow) hehe
Thanks in advance.
Someone mentioned using Kool Aid to color buttercream, but then you will have flavored (cherry) buttercream as well. You would have to have a cake and filling that goes with cherry, I guess. I'm going to try it and if it tastes good/looks good I'm going to use it to make my dds birthday cake this summer.
My red got redder after I let it sit out a while. However, my 3 year old thinks my topsy turvy cake is so bright and colorful she keeps breaking it off and messing it up. I almost cried... 3 times. And let me tell you, she was is trouble. I've spent 9 hours on this cake. Good thing I really love my 1 and 3 year old!!!! OK--thanks for the vent.
I wish I could tell you it gets better, but most of my decorating time is spent chasing my 5 yr old and 7 yr old out of my kitchen. My little one can 'sense' buttercream from a mile away and can't seem to stop himself!!
I turn into mean cake mama when I bake, everyone is banned from the kitchen! 
If they behave, they get to lick the spatulas and beater when I'm done.
