I also often add a small squeeze of corn syrup to the ganache drip, as it adds some nice extra shine. It’s totally optional though. perfectly suited for buttercream, ganache, Swiss meringue, chocolate, fondant, cream and cake mixes / batters In my opinion, couverture choc tastes better, but compound choc makes a more stable ganache (less likely to split or separate). I often use a combination of both types of chocolate. I cover this a bit more in the ganache FAQ post.

Colour Mill's unique blend actually loves the fats and oils in your baking and uses these oils to disperse the special formula colouring this is why Colour Mill is so good . . . the formula is completely oil based, which allows the colouring to disperse properly through the sugar, eggs and butter to dye every part of the buttercream to allow deep, dark and vibrant colours

Also, take into account the temperature of your cake. If you chill your cakes, then your drip will set faster because your cake is cold. If your cake is at room temperature and the room is warm, it will take a while for your ganache to set, so your drip will drip further. Use it to work out the total amount of ganache you’ll need to fill and cover the cake (by putting in the height of the cake, number of layers of cake, and size of the cake). This will give you the total amount of ganache you need to make (if you are also filling the cake with ganache). yes, they're relatively expensive but they are really specialised colourings and the results are pretty amazing If you’re new to making coloured ganache though, I highly recommend reading through the post first as you’ll get a lot of extra tips and info along the way! To be precise, ganache can be made with other liquids, not just cream, but for the purposes of this tutorial, I’m talking about ganache made with cream.

Ok, so that’s all I have in my brain right now that you may want to know about how to colour ganache! By using an oil-based dye like Colour Mill the colour is able to be fully dispersed throughout sugar, butter, eggs, and oil. Colouring every element means your buttercream (or cake batter, meringue, etc) will have a deeper, more vibrant colour, with less colouring! If you need to, you can mix the types of colouring you use. I sometimes use both oils and gels in the same batch if I’m trying to get a specific colour. Colours will develop and deepen over time, so if possible colour your buttercream and allow it to sit overnight for super vibrant results.The cream you need is known by different names in different countries. Here in NZ it’s just regular cream or whipping cream. In other countries, it may be known as heavy whipping cream, single cream or full cream. Basically, you need a pourable, unwhipped cream that is around 35% fat. Colour Mill has replaced all the water elements with baking friendly oils which mix through your batters and buttercream much better as water will repel from the fats in baking. Colour Mill colours are also put through aspecialised micro-milling process which means it is both grain and streak free! Micro pigments colour more effectively which means you can use less colouring. Oh andthey're also free of fillers and gums!

When I’m covering the whole top of the cake in the drip ganache, I like to do that first, then do the drips. Don’t add too much on top, just enough to cover the top of the cake in a thin layer – use an offset spatula to spread it just to the edges. Then use the squeeze bottle or a spoon to add your drips. Make every hour golden hour with this burnt blend of red & orange. The ultimate trans-seasonal pigment depicting shades from summer sunsets to ... You can use any of the colouring options I talked about above to colour your ganache drip. For this pink ganache drip, I used Colour Mill white and candy pink oil-based colouring.conventional paste or gel colours are ideal for colouring sugarpaste icing but they do not really like fats or oils, so you often struggle to get proper colour consistency when using buttercream etc (see below *) Water and oil can’t mix together, so if half your buttercream is butter (fat) your gel colour (water) will only be able to dye the sugar, essentially only colouring half your buttercream - which means you have to use twice as much colour. Because I don’t like to do things by halves, I’ve decided to cover a lot of different ganache colouring info in this post. So I’m adding a table of contents below in case there is one particular question you need answered and want to jump down to that. Colour Mill colours are described as 'next generation food colour', flown all the way from Australia.
