Hi all. When i make colors with the buttercream the frosting gets kind of softer (due to the added mositure) what can i do to make it stiffen back up?Thanks
Add more powdered sugar. Do you use the gel/paste colors? I understand that these don't effect the consistency as much as the liquid colors.
I do use the gel.... The kind they sell on this site. I'm wondering if the powdered sugar wont effect the taste too much.
If it is a dark color, you could add a lot of it with the first T of water, the adjust accordingly. This is helpful for navy, red, black...those colors that use a lot of the gel to get right.
More sugar shouldn't effect the taste, since it's mostly sugar anyway. Experiment with a small amount and see how it goes.
If you're coloring the whole batch, you could use the coloring as part of your liquid. That way, you wouldn't be adding any additional moisture.
