Looking for recommendations on gel colors. I've had problems lately with the Wilton gel colors. Today I finished a Christening cake ordered with violets on a buttercream cross. Using American buttercream for cake and flowers. Used a whole bottle of Wilton violet, looks country blue to me and the cake is for a little girl! Nothing I can do about it now. Had a similar problem a few weeks ago with the Wilton bright yellow which ended up looking like Halloween orange. Had time to re-do that cake mixing my own colors. Any better brands out there? Unfortunately I only have Michael's here and with notice for orders that's my only option.
Thanks!
I use Wilton gel colors all the time and have no problems, except with black which always has a greenish cast. I just mix my colors until I am satisfied. When I want a lavender color, I add a bit of rose to the violet. Purple/violet/lavender is a very unstable color and needs to be protected from light.
