I made royal icing last night that I need for a wedding cake. My problem is the red is not red... it's hot pink. 
How do I get the royal icing to be red?
I used the "no taste red" and "Christmas Red" from Wilton to see if the 2 together would help me the color I needed.
Please I need this before Sunday any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I would add a little more red. It should darken as it sits.

Thank you will be going home for lunch to add more red and let it sit. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed on this one. Thanks again.
Next time you could try americolor red. ( I haven't tried it yet) but I have seen lot of people on here that use it and say it takes very little to get a good red color.Quote by @%username% on %date%
