I am an amateur and very new to this web site and I am not sure if I am posting this where I should...
Every time I color my icing it becomes oily and seperates?? I have tried using different recipes and even cut back on my shortening... I am taken by this frustration.... HELP!!
What type of coloring are you adding. If you are using liquid food color, that may be the problem. Most users here I think you will find like the americolor coloring the best. You can get it here on line, it's really priced pretty good too. Does it seem to be ok without color? If it is, I would say it is most likely the type of color you are adding.
Are you making dark colors or starting with really thin icing?
I've found when I am making dark colors and it takes more color (no matter which brand I use) that if I get the icing too thin it will seperate a little. If that happens I just add in some cornstarch.
