How did you get it so red? Do you have a cream cheese icing that you like? I need to make a red cream cheese icing but I’m having a hard time getting it red like elmo.
Use a gel food coloring it will work better then the liquid 🙂
Did you actually make the red icing, because to get a good red you still need a lot of red gel coloring and then the icing has a bitter taste. I’ve been looking for a solution to the red icing issue.
There is a very red color but you also need to let it sit in the fridge for a day and it will eventually take the red color
use red red paste by wilton and at some rose pink to it. makes great red color
Debbie, Wilton makes a red no taste gel food color. I have used it before without any problems.
You can purchase red, black, blue and any other color icing from the grocery store bakery. They sold it to me by the lbs. Pricey but if you are doing something special it is worth it. Good luck. I got mine at Bilo.
There is also a red gel “no taste’ coloring that is made by Wilton and can be bought at Walmart.
When I made lighting McQueen red frosting by adding some cocoa powder to the base frosting then adding red gel frosting. It became a brighter red color. I think you can also start with using beet juice. At least you don’t have to start from white to get to the red color.
Check Wilson and see if they have a red frosting or coloring
Will you have a red mouth after eating? As an adult if I took them to a party I wouldn’t want everyone embarrassed
