Hi all,
I need to make some deep red gumpaste roses for a wedding cake (my first one, and boy am I SUPER nervous). Can I just add some black color to red color and get the deep red, or do I just keep adding red until it gets dark enough? Will using just red ever give me a deep enough red, and what can I do if I run out of red gel? If I have to use a liquid color with the gumpaste, can I just add some more powdered sugar or something to it if it changes the texture?
Sorry about all the questions, but I really want this cake to turn out nice!

Are you using a premade gumpaste? if you are add as much red as you dare, then use petal dusts to deepen the color.
If you are making your own gumpaste, I use a whole jar of super red (americolor) and omit some of the water. Then i use burgandy petal dust to deepen the color more.
Any time that i have added black to red it ends up looking dirty to me.
so I guess you will be using my airbrush???? lmbo
