I have a cake due tomorrow morning -
For Chocolate Buttercream, how do I get the color to come out dark brown (like chocolate fudge)? The most I can get is a mocha color, even with using brown Icing color.
I used melted baking chocolate with my regular BC recipe.
Thanks!
You may have to add some cocoa powder - also - you may not be using enough of the brown color to really darken it. Good luck! Mine always turns out brown, but I use the cocoa to flavor it, not the melted chocolate, so maybe that has something to do with it?
I use cocoa powder as well. It always get s a very dark brown. If you look in my pics the pirate ship is iced fully in the chcolate butter cream. I usually end up adding 1/2-1 c to my regular recipe and increasing the water and butter a little.
