Hi All,

 

Hope you can help.

I've been asked to make 'Black Bocara' deep red roses and i'm struggling to get the colour right.

The trials keep ending up brown!

Any suggestions??

 

Thanks

:)

ARed + black -- you mean a fierce deep dark blood red?

and if you tip them in some black powder that's pretty cool too

Kaysie Lackey has a tutorial for that style of rose...you have to be a member to see the full video but I can tell you that she says she colored her fondant with Super Red, Holiday Red, and some Violet (to cancel out the orange).

I assume they're Americolor...

(She also uses 4 different dusts at the end...3 of them are reddish and don't really show to be honest, one would've been fine...the 4th is a deep purple which looks great!)

I just made a bunch of them..started with red gumpaste mixed with a little black.  When dry, I dusted them with a little "turkish black", then a dusting of "black magic" (which is a very dark red).  I got both colors from Ruth Rickey..

That's great thank you :)

 

I also have to make Grand prix roses. I'm thinking of an orange base dusted with a mix of red and claret. What do you think?
