A pretty light yellow is not so hard to achieve either, just a little bit of Yellow food coloring mixed with creamy Buttercream Frosting. Consider the ingredients that type of food coloring contains. Many options include artificial ingredients, but you can find all-natural options too if you stay aware they’re more likely to affect your food’s taste. In any case, make sure you don’t have an allergy to any of the ingredients and the coloring doesn’t contain anything hazardous.

Aside from being the most flexible food color in that market, Emulco gives your baked products natural, deep hues. A Green frosting is not as hard to achieve as other colors … the slightly yellow-ish tint from the buttercream frosting is a good base to build on. Knowing how much food coloring to add for the intended result takes some experimentation. It always helps to use just a little dye at a time to prevent mistakes that could mean needing to throw out your food and start over. Keep in mind the intensity of the color you want since you’ll need far less coloring to get a pastel shade than a very dark one. Additionally, be aware the shade may get darker over time if you’re mixing the dye with fondant or buttercream. Assemble and frost: Using a large serrated knife, slice a thin layer off the tops of the cakes to create a flat surface. Discard or crumble over finished cake. Place 1 cake layer on your cake stand or serving plate. Evenly cover the top with frosting. Top with 2nd layer and spread remaining frosting all over the top and sides. I always use an icing spatula and bench scraper for the frosting. I used Wilton piping tip #12 for decoration around the top. If you do decide to use pure white chocolate, there is another alternative to coloring the actual white chocolate. Instead, you can paint your molds with melted and colored cocoa butter. You can keep the cocoa butter melted in the electric skillet, but you don't want it to get hotter than 91 degrees Fahrenheit.When we need White Buttercream we make a batch of our The Best Buttercream Frosting. It’s white-adjacent. If you really need a pure white, you can use the same yummy buttercream frosting recipe with Clear Vanilla Extract instead of regular Vanilla. The benefits of Emulco don’t stop there (aka flavor and color). While we eat with our eyes, makers of Emulco also know that we eat with our noses. So, they saw to it that our beloved Emulco gives your baked goods a crisp, fragrant aroma that comes out as soon as you take your treats out of the oven. Is as flexible as it can be. Add 12 drops of Bluefood coloring and mix the food coloring with a spoon(as opposed to usingthe mixer). Make the frosting: In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together on medium-high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to high speed and beat for 3 minutes until completely combined and creamy. Add more confectioners’ sugar if frosting is too thin or an extra pinch of salt if frosting is too sweet. Frosting should be soft, but not runny.

What a disaster! I make cakes all the time and I did everything as outlined in the recipe – used cake flour, let the butter, eggs, and cream cheese come to room temp, creamed the butter and sugar, whipped the egg whites, etc. and the cake came out terrible. It tastes like flour and not much more. We couldn’t taste the cocoa or vanilla at all and it was barely sweet. The texture was way denser than in the pictures, too.It is challenging to create a dark blue frosting … the yellow-ish hue from buttercream frosting when mixed with blue food coloring will inevitably give you a teal frosting. We’ve tried many different food colorings and color combinations but we think we’ve got the perfect mix for a patriotic blue frosting.
