I have been looking at all these wonderful Halloween cookies here and have couple questions. How do I get my icing so deep blue purple for the night sky (I only have Wilton colors available) and what is the secret to get yellow and green icing to glow?
well impretty new at all this sorry if im no help. for the dark deep purple u could use a tiny bit of the wilton black then add some purple becaue the black istn actually black anyways haha
To get dark shades in buttercream you have to make the icing at least the night before you want to use it; also start by coloring your icing a medium color (blue or purple) allowing that to 'mellow' a few hours before adding more navy blue gel &/OR some black. Don't use too much black so you keep the blue coloring.
It's about the same if using royal icing but royal dries just a shade or two *lighter* so go darker than you think you need
It also doesn't take as long to develop the color as b'c does.
Sorry, can't help w/the glowing colors.
