Hi Emily, thanks for these tips . It's very useful. You have used only 2 scoop of buttercream for coloring and its already easy to achieve dark color which is black, navy and deep red with this amount of frosting. How do we achieve these colors for big size of cakes?
Very helpful. Thank you
Please can you give the recipe for the butter cream?
Thank you for the great tips. Does the bitter taste tip work the same for whipping cream as well?
This is great! Please can you give tips for getting really white frosting. Thank you!
When you are mixing your frosting put a little bit of violet in!
Thank you for the fab tips!
Can this tricks be applied to whipped cream too?
Such great information thank you! Where did you get the gel color organizer?!
The container for colours is a nail polish case from Amazon: amzn.to/3xVGdsL The sections are the perfect height and width for little gel bottles!
Can you make a tutorial on how to make cake pops please
Thank you for the great tips. You have a large collection of gels. What make are they and is the set with storage box available?
Hi! I use Chefmaster liqua-gels and I bought the storage case separately on Amazon. It's actually a nail polish case: amzn.to/3xVGdsL The sections are the perfect height and width for little gel bottles!
Does using this much gel dye not stain your teeth while eating?
How do you adjust your microwave?
How much choc chips did you melt please ?
Will the flavour of the chocolate be noticeable?
Outstanding tips👍🏻
yes
Very nice video, thank you! My daughter doesn't like chocolate, so what can I do to get a nice, dark colour?
She doesn't like buttercream either, but she does eat white chocolate, but my white chocolate ganache always splits! May be you could make a video on how to make white chocolate ganache one day, that would be lovely!!
my left ear enjoyed this video
How to make salted caramel
How do I darken the black buttercream when the person only wants a vanilla flavor?
Use the microwave and resting hacks
Can we use Nutella instead of coco powder and chocolate
Yes! It won't make the brown colour as dark so you'll need to use a little bit more black gel to achieve a true black colour
Is there a way of getting black without having chocolate buttercream flavour?
Yes, you'll just need to add a lot more gel
What about black cocoa? I just heard about this?
It's a little bit darker than regular cocoa powder but on its own it won't make buttercream black, just a dark grey colour. Just like melted chocolate, it's a good starting point to make the buttercream darker before adding black gel colour.
Have you ever tried black cocoa powder? Or any of the powdered colors? I've used the powders for macarons but not buttercream. Debating on ordering black cocoa powder because I can't find it locally.
I've used black cocoa powder for black buttercream but I find I still need to add gel to get a true black colour.
@@BritishGirlBakes thank you! Good to know.
I use mostly the powered colours, and to get a smooth blend with the buttercream, it helps the add one or 2 drops of boiling water. But I have struggled with getting a nice navy or even black... so definitely going to try the tips in these videos!
What if you don't want chocolate
It would taste like chocolate tho right?
Yes! For vanilla you'd need to use just black gel so you'd need more of it
I can NEVER get chocolate chips to melt - they get gummy
Try using 80% power in the microwave (or 60% if your microwave is very powerful) and only melt for 30 seconds at a time. Stir for at least 30 seconds to disperse the heat and then repeat if necessary :)
The problem with the black frosting is it will taste like chocolate.
Definitely a problem if you don't like chocolate!
Adding black cocoa powder will allow you to get black buttercream with no food coloring.
I haven't been able to get a true black buttercream using only black cocoa powder. It makes a dark grey buttercream, but not jet black
@@BritishGirlBakes really? I’ve done it twice now....but you sure have me looking back at my photos of those cakes! LOL!
Yeah but now you no longer have vanilla buttercream or almond etc you have chocolate
You are mixing so much color in such a small amount of cream, if we add that much color then the cream will become very bitter.
You do this only just to be show in your video, but in reality it is not possible, we have to take care not only of color but also of taste
Did you watch to the end of the video? I share how to avoid a bitter taste :)
