I'm making a birthday cake for my MIL who LOVES scotties. I want to make a 3-D scottie cake, but she's allergic to chocolate. Is there a way to get black buttercream without starting with chocolate? She requested a specific Swiss Meringue Buttercream recipe that she loves.
Thanks for your help!

Using lots of black gel paste in your icing?
Or you could try airbrushing it.
Americolor is the best. I never heard of putting in the Crisco before adding powdered sugar. I will try that next time. I have always colored mine after the frosting was made. It takes a LOT, but it will get black. The other thing to remember is that it will look even carker after it crusts.
