    Hi ! am I able to use food color dye drops instead of the gel ? Also why is it that my buttercream is just to soft it hold but still seems too soft after being in the fridge for hours after decorating. Maybe because I’m using a hand mixer not the one you use ?

    Great color ! Does the icing have an artificial taste? That's my problem with using the color.

    • @KarolynsKakes
      @KarolynsKakes  3 роки тому

      I personally don't like to ice an entire cake with dark buttercream for that reason. This technique allows you to use less coloring, but you still use enough that it could turn tongues red. So whenever I have to have a red, black or dark colored cake, I usually cover it in fondant and save the dark buttercream for decoration purposes.

    Hi Karolyn, when I use the viva paper towel method, my buttercream sticks to the paper towel :( is there a reason why this happens to me please? Any help would be great!

    • @KarolynsKakes
      @KarolynsKakes  Рік тому

      Are you using American Buttercream? You may be getting the icing too wet while using the bench scraper. If you use a meringue buttercream, you can't use this method because it doesn't form a crust.

      I personally haven't worked with Swiss Meringue buttercream, but I know that you can color it with gel colors, which is what I used in this video. If you try it, let me know how it works out!

    • @KarolynsKakes
      @KarolynsKakes  3 роки тому +1

      I only make black buttercream for accent decorations because of that very reason. I feel like too much coloring is needed to get it to a deep color (even if you start with a chocolate icing). So whenever I need a black cake, I cover it in fondant (and always tell people that I'll be doing it that way.)

      I start with a brown gel color base because clients may not want a chocolate taste. Then I use black gel and let it sit overnight to intensify.
