Hello new viewers! A few things to know...
-Yes I talk a lot Haha! I like to be more personal with my subscribers. Giving really give good detail is important ☺️
-YES it works on whipped icing and cream cheese icing.
It is work for whippit frosting?
Would this work for Italian or Swiss Buttercream?
Hello. Just wanted to pop by to let you know that your instructions for this hack are missing a few steps.
You don't microwave the entire batch. That makes the buttercream too loose, and then you have to chill it and rewhip it before you can use it.
The proper way to do it is to microwave a small portion of the buttercream and then add it back into the larger batch. It will still develop the color, and you don't lose the structure of the buttercream.
I discovered this hack about 4 or 5 years ago. If I had known that it was this useful, I would have made a video then.
Beli B Really helps me as well as the actual video. Big thanks to both of you ❤️❤️
I just tried it but I could not get the volume back in my buttercream and the colour also lightened again 😞
Tried this microwave hack and it works for both red and black.
I'm surprised it works!

Really wow thanks
Is it for fondant or also for royal icing?
@@clraffell I think it's just for buttercream.
This is a cool trick.I use a small amount of Black Cocoa powder in white icing then only need a small amount of black colouring to get intense black.
For some reason when ever i warm the buttercream in the microwave the color gets brighter and very liquidy but i can never get my consistency back i have tried leaving in room temperature for hours and i have re whipped it but I cannot get the same consistency I cannot make any flowers or anything
I will try and see if it works with whipped frosting!
Did it work with the whipping cream?
Did it work??
Will it work for whipped cream?
How long did she leave it in the microwave ?
5-10 seconds
@@rajithaharish3988 thank youuu
Is this only for buttercream frosting? Will this work for royal icing?
For royal icing add a tiny bit of brown ☺️
Did you use super red or just red?
This is incredible. You have saved my attempt at a Spider-Man cake which was about to be a pink.
😂😂Sameee heree
Same
Lol i literally just did a spiderman cake and the americolor was really bitter. Next time i have a red cake im going with American buttercream.
I do italian buttercream so after i threw out my first icing i just went with me other food coloring. It worked fine.
Oh man this same happened to men also.😣
Super idea..!! Loved it but you talk a lot..🙈
The actual video starts at... 2026
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣i skip ahead. Verbal diarrhea
LOLLLLLLLLLLLL
😂😂😂😂
😂🤣😂
Ty
Who skipped the all video to just watch how she does those flowers
If you have ever smoothed your red icing with a hot palette knife you will immediately notice the red color change to a deeper red
Girl.. thank you!!! You’re a life saver! I’m making a Pokémon cake for my son’s birthday and was I ever struggling to get the red needed for the pokeball… watched this and I have the perfect red now!!! THANK YOU!!!! ♥️
I saw this on TikTok, I’m so glad it really works and wasn’t just one of those joke videos on there!!!
If you want save yourself 9 minutes…microwave the dull red icing for 5-10 seconds, remix by hand and let cool to room temp, then rebeat with mixer. That’s it..that’s the whole video.
For buttercream, I add gel color when I mix butter. Then when I incorporate the sugar, it comes out with the bright or dark colors perfectly.
Do you have any advice for Swiss meringue buttercream? Would I put the coloring in the egg whites?
@@ediezwahlen8618 I haven't worked with swiss meringue....
@@ediezwahlen8618 But when I work on french macarons (Italian method), I do add the coloring to the meringue before mixing with almond/sugar mix. I guess there's only one way to find out; try it out and see if it works...🤞
@@ediezwahlen8618 I don't know if you still want to know this but look up Sugarologie! She has great tips for SMBC colouring
I wish I had seen this before I just frosted an entire cake with red frosting!
I just did red and white stripes 😭
+1
Red gets more red as it sits.
Same here..entire red rossette cake..with a dull red
I just tried this! Doing a late night bake session for 4th of July weekend and I was really bummed that my red food dye was a pink tint. So glad I found this! I also used this trick for the blue to deepen that as well! Thank you!!
@raven did you microwave the whole batch of frosting?
Did it work for u
My eyes were hooked on the two stand mixer 😍 wishing to have one 😍😍😍
Same! I like the tiffany blue one
Same here😄😅
Me too
same here😍😍😍😍
Lol me too
I just tried this and yes, it did get darker, but it became very hard, added more water and re-whipped. Had a bunch of hard little lumps I had to try to smooth out too. Luckily I just did a test batch
Water? Yikes!
@@amandag4617 that's my same reaction
This is a gd idea for a small batch of frosting....idk about a big one.....but if you let your buttercream sit for at least a day, it will darken in color...as with fondant
My trick to the spread the icing out in a large bowl, cover with Saran Wrap and put it under a fluorescent light. (I worked in a bakery and the lights were all like this) Stir every hour, for about 5 hours and the icing will become significantly darker. 👍👍👍👍
Really? Why does it work
The light darkens it, not sure why.
@@Courtney983 it probably heats it up too!
Why does it seem like she's telling her life story-
You don't microwave the entire batch. You only microwave a portion of the buttercream, and add that back into larger batch.
So glad I went to the comments. I’m about to make an Elmo and Cookie Monster cake and was wondering how a whole batch would hold up to microwaving and cooling.
do you wait for it to cool down before adding it back?
Thanks for the tip! I don’t have a microwave though, can I use double boiler instead?
NO WAY !!, just was making a Xmas cake and saw this video, thank you
also prior to the microwave hack, I put a teaspoon of water to the buttercream and saw it go darker, it could be part of the liquifying process that it gets darker
This is amazing! I just tried it and it works 😁😁😁
MEE TOOO
I tried and unfortunately this trick did not work for me :(
Leave it in the microwave longer than 30 seconds. It didn't work for me at first until I left it in longer.
That's quite a crazy difference from just microwaving it. I don't know much about baking but it seems like this would be common knowledge among the community. How come it's so hard to find?
I am a professional baker and have never heard of this trick before either.
Omg! You saved my pizza cake. I needed red for the sauce. I so appreciated this video. ❤️🍕
This really works! Thank you so much for making this video. I was hesitant to try this technique but when everything else failed I decided to try your “melting” method😆 Well it worked like a charm!! Incredible!!! I’ve been making cakes for 16 years and thanks to you I can now make a red cake!! Never too old to learn something new.
This works well with black also, but I melt a small portion of it and add it to my bigger batch and it has to do with the molecules
Have you tried it with royal icing?
@@claudiawesterlund2983 I haven't yet but I'll be doing some minnie mouse cookies today and will try it
@@claudiawesterlund2983 royal icing usually gets nice and black just with a black gel food coloring
How much time we have to put it in microwave?
@@prachikotalwar4388 she says 5-10 seconds
So i tried this with Swiss meringue and it completely ruined my batch of buttercream 🥺
Apparently I was supposed to only use a small portion and then add it to the bigger batch.
I will definitely try this ! Thank you !
Although I was wondering what would happen if you microwave the gel food colour rather than the butter cream🤪may sound weird sorry
This is also what I was thinking & will do, rather than heat the whole icing. I really think the chemistry here is all about the temperature of the coloring. Like in example, we always need to heat up the coloring ( if in liquid ) to color chocolate, otherwise, your chocolate will become sandy or grainy.
Did you try your method and did it work?
Does this work with other frostings as well? Like whipped cream and cream cheese frosting?
Yes I just whipped the other week 😁
@@FrenchiesBakery did you have to chill it again or whip it again? ❤️
How about with Italian mirengue buttercream???
I struggled with the same problem while using the Americolor brand of gel color. Someone in a UA-cam video said they never had that problem and didn’t understand why everyone else does. The reason she didn’t have this issue was because she used the Chefmaster brand of gel color. Try it... it really works!
I have found americolor are all dull. Just my experience 🥺
What if I don't have it
Never heard about it wow thats amazing I myself have had a hard time making my red icing darker. Thanks for your video.
Absolutely crazy. I found your tutorial after I have added a ton of red gel to my butter cream. Thank you so much.
Hi! Can you share the cake groups you joined?
This did not work for me 😭😭 idk what I did wrong. Did you use gel or regular food coloring? I used regular. Does that matter?
What if I don't have a micro wave,can I just hear it and still get this color
Does this work for Swiss meringue buttercream or American buttercream?
Same question
Yes,
Can't we add colour first only in melted butter..then refrigerate and blend ??
Omg!! It really does work! Thank you for sharing this. Just did burgundy roses instead of the usual dull red/pink. Awesome!!
What type of buttercream did you try it on. I'm wondering if it works on swiss meringue?
@@cynthiagoodard4023 ooh I'm not sure about that one as it would have egg. Try with a little bit. I did my experiment with about half cup of buttercream so not much risk. Let us know if it works 😊
I’m trying burgundy roses this weekend. Fingers-crossed it works. Lol
Works great with Swiss meringue buttercream
In art, if you want to lighten a colour you add white. If you want to darken a colour you add black (black and white are called tones, not colours). A smidge of black, not even a full drop will darken the red.
Adding white is making a tint, adding black is a shade, and adding gray or black and white is a tone.
I just tried this. It came out bright red. Love this hack. Will definitely save me money on this expensive food coloring I normally purchase
Does this work with WHIPPING CREAM?
Nooo pls dont try
OMG!!!😮 Does this work on batter before I bake it’s red afterwards it’s pink. How would I do that since it getting hot already in microwave.
It worked until I went to mix it up after the red developed and it went straight back to the dull color 😭
no one likes the taste of food coloring, ICKY! So this is brilliant. Has anyone tried this with Royal icing ( using the Meringue Powder recipes? I was thinking maybe I could put the food coloring into the Corn Syrup heat and then cool that and then add into my Icing mixture? Thoughts on Royal icing?
I was just wondering how to make this work for royal icing too! Did you try it?
How do you do this with a full batch buttercream?
Hi, hopefully you can see this comment, but is it possible it could work for marshmallows. I was making spiderman Rice Krispie treats for my son's birthday and I added in so much food coloring that it was just a dark pink.
Great video!! I just recommend getting rid of background music - it’s distracting to what you are saying :)
I just tried this and my whole batch just don’t whip i become so saggy 😭😭😭 can i fix it
Does this work on royal icing as well?
Try it.....
Tried it on royal icing and it does not work
This is amazing and totally works! You saved my batch of frosting. I did have to microwave it longer though, prob about 30 sec total! Thank you for posting!
Why do you have to talk much, but yeah I really loved it 😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍
It didn't work for me. Dont know if I had too much frosting in my bowl or not enough of red gel food coloring. Does the type of frosting make a difference?
Hi, I tried this and my butter just separated and no real color change?
Hey that was crazy.. I was just waiting for such kind of video...
I am from India, and the cake I am going to make tomorrow needs this kind of dark red frosting.. can you please tell me if this strategy works with whipped cream ?
Ankita Yadav did you tried with whipped cream
@@neelofarsiddiqui1334 yeah I tried.. it didn't work
Ankita Yadav Thanks
Is it buttercream or royal icing?
Making Elmo cupcakes 😅 thank you🎉😂
Warm food colouring first in boiled water if no microwave
How if I don't have microwave? 😭
I think you can just heat it on a stove for a few seconds until it melts slightly
Can I use this trick on whipped cream?
Why don't you just try it out and let us know?
putting whipped cream in microwave 😅😅 ,dont try it with whipped cream.
My melted whipped cream is in the fridge right now. The colour has definitely changed but idk if it will stiffen up again after re whipping. Hope it works :')
@@fluffyyyfuzzz pls share experience
That is AWESOME!! How would you get a whole recipe of icing for an entire cake that red? Would you microwave it a little at the time?
Exactly! How about a large batch?
There’s no reason you couldn’t microwave a big batch all at once. I assume it would do the exact same thing
@@melfree2545 Thanks.
I must be doing something wrong because mine comes out as a paste
Are you able to repeat similar method for other colors as well
I wanna know wich groups you are part of!!!!!!
The channel you may be looking for is cakes by MK.
i wonder if you could just microwave the dye.
Can this will work for italian buttercream?
Do you know if this works with royal icing? Thanks
ruined the whole cream I had whipped, but the color changed!!!!!
you didnot try to cool it and rewhip it?
Mem is it working on non dairy whipped cream??
My icing will be runny if i put in the microwave
I literally just started making a red frosting 2 days ahead of time Only because the last time I had to make a red frosting (which was several weeks ago) I saw a Wilton post and it advised to make the frosting a couple days ahead of time for the color to set in. I just did earlier today a navy buttercream that I know I added way too much coloring too b it thankfully still tastes good. You saved my red buttercream.
Hi I was in tears trying to get my perfect red and I saw this video and I tried it .....Red is no longer my enemy it REALLYYY works thank you... would it work with black????
To get black, you add cocoa first or brown color first then add black later on.
Yes I have done it with black! I’m so happy I could help ☺️
I wanna know where u got yr Toaster. My kitchen is red and tealish!
Is that Christmas red, Red Red or tulip red?
Use credit food color and a drop of blue for a deep red
Does this also work with Royal icing?
Is this suitable for white ganache?
what do use in place of microwave please
If i use 2 drop gel color my creame become bitter in taste
For whipped cream frosting it's not possible ryt 😐
I did this and mine just got more pink 😭
Can’t take my eyes off your tshirt 🤩 love it
Does it work for royal icing?
How about for wipping cream
How about if we don't have a microwave? What can we use as alternative? Badly need red and green frosting today. Please notice me.. Thank you.
Leave it out in the sun. as long as it melts
Sugarologie had a video like this
what kind of frosting you use
Way too much talking.
Will it work with whipped cream?
It didn't work me at first because 30 seconds wasn't enough time. I guess it depends on your microwave. It definitely works after leaving it in much longer.
You didnt say how many seconds
Thats what i do! But not intentionally for darker coloring. I melt my buttercream to make drip and yes it goes dark🤦🏻♀️
What if you no microwave oven
Does it work with whipping cream too?
Same question
What are the best nozzles for Roses...?
Does this hack work for non dairy whipped cream too ?
