Hi everyone,
I need to make some petitfours covered in buble gum pink color. I prefer to use candy melts. Anyone knows of how I can achieve that color?
Thanks a bunch,
P

You could buy the colored melts. If you want to color them yourself, you need to use candy colors, NOT icing colors. The candy colors are oil based so they won't make the chocolate seize. Also, there are color powders you can use. HTH

Michaels has pink colored candy wafers

Thanks, but that's kind of the problem, I've never seen bubble gum pink candy melts or candy color like that. I'm trying to figure out how I can achieve that specific color.
Thanks, P

The candy color may not be called bubble gum pink but a mixture with a little trial and error of the different pinks and reds avail in the candy colors may give you exactly what your looking for. You don't have to use candy melts. Why not a poured fondant or glace icing that you can color with cake paste colors? There are more colors available and your petits would taste a whole lot better. I only use candy melts for designs that won't be consumed or sometimes for children. They really are waxy and don't taste that great. Hth

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

You could do a little trial and error with pink and red melts and maybe avoid the coloring altogether. I noticed the last time I colored melts, they dried MUCH darker than when they were still liquid. Something to keep in mind...
