About this deal

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. As you may well know, the powdered version of food coloring is fully dry. Again, it does not include any liquid at all. We just had to emphasize that (sorry, not sorry). Cake Flour: I highly recommend cake flour. Cake flour is much lighter than all-purpose and the perfect base for a light, soft-crumbed cake texture. Like I mention above, red velvet’s texture is important to the authenticity of the flavor. You will thank me for the recommendation after you taste how incredibly soft this cake is. It’s the texture you find at professional bakeries.

Light Pink Frosting is very easy to make … you’ll just need the tiniest drop of pink food coloring. Natural food coloring is typically less vibrant than the synthetic stuff. Achieve a brighter hue by placing the colored liquid in a pot over medium heat and reducing it to a more concentrated paste. Pureeing fresh vegetables (instead of using store-bought juice) will also increase the vibrancy. Gel colors deepen over time, so you must wait and see how the combination changes before adding more color. Remember, patience is the key to making tasty and colorful dishes. 6. Liquid Food Coloring An attitude of experimentation will serve you well as you learn how to make your own safe and natural food coloring. You may not achieve the exact color you want every time, but you can have fun in the process and rest easy knowing you’re reducing your exposure to potentially harmful colorants.

Add 2drops of Blue food coloring and stir by hand. The blue food coloring is going to take you from pink to purple.

In a small bowl, add 2 teaspoons strawberry powder to 2 tablespoons water, stirring to create a smooth paste. If you can’t find powder, you can make your own from freeze-dried strawberries by using a clean spice blender or mortar and pestle. Pink But it’s not just about the appearance. After all, your cake can be the most beautiful one on the globe, but if it tastes bad, no one will totally like it.I might have explained the most common types of food color above, but nothing beats this revolutionary product: Emulco. Some examples of these dyes include chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color. Another example is turmeric, a plant that is commonly found in India. As you may well know, we use turmeric to color food yellow. Add 2 drops of Yellow food coloring and mix the food coloring with a spoon(as opposed to usingthe mixer). Again, frosting always darkens over time. In the picture above, you can see how the green color deepened overnight. How to make Bright Green Frosting In addition, natural ones usually come in powder form. However, when exposed to sunlight, the majority of powdered natural colorings lose their vibrant hue within 24 hours.

Powdered dyes are made out of synthetic coloring with no water, glycerin, or corn syrup. They’re sold in jars of totally dry powder. There are many ways to use it: add a pinch of the powder to your dry mixture or combine it with a few drops of clear alcohol for a paint-like consistency. You can even dust it onto foods to create a gentle finish. While any food coloring can get messy, you can save yourself some hassles if you properly prepare. This means putting on an apron to protect your clothes and wearing gloves to avoid stained hands. Protect your work area too for an easier cleanup process. Given its consistency, the gel form contains more intense and vivid colors. So, its consistency makes it perfect for coloring big batches of dough or buttercream frosting at once. Liquid food coloring is usually made with synthetic dye in a water base. It’s often sold in small plastic squeeze bottles, which are great for beginners because you can add as many (or as few) drops as you’d like until you reach the desired hue. Liquid gel dye Again, frosting always darkens over time. In the picture above, you can see how the blue color deepened overnight. How to Make Light Blue FrostingThankfully, Emulco saves the day. Formulated to produce more natural flavors, Emulco produces the most authentic flavors a food color can have. Easily mixes with your batter. 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.

Follow the manufacturer’s directions for storing your food coloring. Avoid storing it in sunlight or heat. Additionally, keep the containers tightly sealed.

Scientists are still researching and debating the effects and potential risks of food dyes on human health. A large number of dyes (91 to be exact) were once approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but have since been banned after negative effects were discovered in lab tests. Given that food dyes are synthesized from coal tar or petroleum, it’s not surprising that they’re not ideal for human health.Add 6 drops of Pink food coloring and mix the food coloring with a spoon(as opposed to usingthe mixer). Food Coloring: The amount of red food coloring is up to you. I tested with varying amounts. To get the dark red color you see here, use 2 teaspoons of gel food coloring. You could use liquid food coloring too, but gel food coloring is more potent. You’ll need at least 1 Tablespoon of liquid. Dye the batter until you are pleased with the color. Use beet powder for a natural alternative (mix 1/2 teaspoon beet powder with 2 teaspoons of water before adding) or leave the food coloring out completely. Layer Cake: Prepare 3 9-inch cake pans in step 1 and divide the batter evenly between the pans. Bake for about 22-25 minutes. Golden beets and/or turmeric serve nicely as the basis for yellow food coloring. To make, follow these instructions from Studio DIY: Peel and dice the beet, then mix with ¼ cup of water and a teaspoon or two of turmeric. Soften the beets by microwaving the mixture for approximately 30 seconds; blend, strain, and use the resulting liquid as your dye. The juice from pulverized mangoes and saffron are also good options. If you choose saffron, be careful not to overpower other flavors in the dish. If you’re going for a slightly more orange hue, you can’t go wrong with carrot juice.
