Great

[@chocol8bunny504]

Where can I find black cocoa?

[@princessmalarbridalmehendi8800]

How to do without shortening?

[@I.love.chease]

Just for a tip I find it a lot easier to use activated charcoal for black food dye 🙂

[@BehindTheCake]

Thank you, Ill check it out.

[@dannyb5696]

Just be careful using activated charcoal because it can have negative interactions for people on medication.

[@hanadyalawlaqi9896]

So even if I leave it covered in the fridge it’ll get darker right?

[@BehindTheCake]

Yes it does get darker.

[@babymhadz1125]

Where i can buy black cocoa here at the philippines.

[@durgadivinewrath8879]

Amazon? If they deliver there?

[@preciousokamura3766]

i found one on shopee. just search black cocoa.

[@peninah.l.wambui5281]

ummm... final result???

[@mylenewicked]

I really wanna try this recipe but im worried that I might taste the shortening.

[@BehindTheCake]

definitely try it, you can not taste the shortening. I use regular Crisco.

[@mintraramkissoon1252]

U don't taste the shortening

[@ricranmosco1610]

Where we rest buttercream in room temp or inside the ref..thanks

[@BehindTheCake]

Black cocoa is added not for flavor but for color, have you used black cocoa before?

[@100Britneyspears100]

So my frosting won't taste like cocoa powder at all?

[@mariachapa7489]

Doesn’t it become bitter?

[@BehindTheCake]

@@mariachapa7489 it is not bitter because it doesn't require a lot of black food coloring.

[@BehindTheCake]

@@100Britneyspears100 no, because it is dutch processed. The more processed the cocoa the less chocolate flavor. Hope that helps.

[@hernawati2340]

What is shortening?

[@rosalindgrimes2437]

Pig fat

[@BehindTheCake]

Vegtable shortening is a fat. Google it and please let me know if you know it with a different name.

[@jessicapaz7817]

Does it change to chocolate flavor?

[@BehindTheCake]

No, black cocoa is used for coloring purposes.

[@BaroyVlogs]

When you let it rest overnight, are u gonna put it in the fridge?

[@BehindTheCake]

You can put it in the fridge overnight, let it come to room temp and whip it again before using. If you are going to use it the next day, you can leave it on the counter if wheater is not that hot.
