Hi everyone! I have a question. Is there any particular method for making gold buttercream or do you just use lemon yellow or something? Thanks!

If you're looking for a "generic" gold, I have Americolor gold and like it really well. My cake supply store says most folks use "buttercup" for gold.

If you're looking for "gold" gold, here's a link that may help. http://forum.cakecentral.com/cake_recipe-2039-Piping-silver-and-gold.html

I use Americolor gold but it tends to look more yellow than I would like.
