Colouring


Various colours can be added to the icing to achieve a theme or enhance the appearance of the cake
Colours come in gels, paste, liquid (not for buttercream), powder or pre made fondants
Some paste and gel colours contain glycerine, so avoid using with royal icing as it will not set hard
When mixing powders it is a good idea to prepare a couple of days before hand to ensure there are no colour changes as they can be quite strong and if possible avoid purple as it is unstable and can fade.

Oil based colours are suitable for chocolate
