Maximize the use of your trend colors by mixing to create even more shades consumers will love. Create six top colors using

Stone Gray as the foundation in these simple formulas.

Ensure your cake case grabs the attention of consumers for the different holiday seasons — add a drop of color. Identified by color trend experts, here are the must-have colors.

non-dairy whippedIn non-dairy whipped topping the liquid or gel paste colors both work. All colors have a tendency to bleed in non-dairy whipped toppings because the primary ingredient is water. A little goes a long way. It is best to use lighter colors and avoid any black or red intense colors when making whipped topping decorations. Airbrushing over them will darken them more than trying to color the product all the way through.

[ tips & trick s ]

[ per formance expectations ]

buttercreamBecause of the shortening base, buttercream has a tendency to darken over time. If you plan on doing a lot of reds for Christmas or blacks for Halloween, mixing your colors a day ahead of time will intensify your colors, allowing you to use less color.

fondantFondant absorbs color more than buttercream icings and will have slightly different recipes than the spreadable icings. The water test will also help in learning how much you need of each color and what ratios you may need to make your desired color. As with buttercream icing, coloring fondant the day before and wrapping it tightly will help the color to mature and use less color than if you colored it the day before. Either gel or paste colors can be used for fondant.

COLOR MIXING

COLOR VARIES BY TOPPING

Color is an important part of any cake design. Whether you are trying to create the perfect shade to deliver a theme or match a specific color for a consumer — getting it right is crucial.

That’s where the art of mixing color comes in. Our cake decorating and color pros are here with tips to ensure you get perfectly colored icing every time.

Quickly test how a color will look when diluted. Just

place one drop in a cup of water and stir. You’ll instantly see the color’s hue and get an idea of what it will look like in icing.

Did you know you can use a sheet cake board like a

painter’s palette? Mix color in small amounts of icing to see how each color reacts with different types of icing, as well as how much color to use to achieve your desired hues.

Buttercream has a tendency to darken while

the color is absorbed. Mix it a day ahead of time, and slightly lighter than your desired shade to allow it to deepen to the perfect hue.

Achieve the best results with whipped icing by

folding the color into cold — right out of the refrigerator — batches instead of stirring.

1 test the color

Use your cake board palette when mixing two

colors. Mix each color with a little icing first, then mix equal parts of those two icings together. Play with color until your desired shade comes through.

3 play with color

Too much liquid gel color tastes bitter and makes

icing hard to use. Instead use gel paste. You will use less to get your desired color.

5 paste delivers dark color
