Oh, I just love color! I use AmeriColor products exclusively for coloring icing or batter, airbrushing and food-safe markers. I used other brands when I was getting started, but once I discovered AmeriColor, I was hooked forever. I purchase all of these products at my local cake store and even keep spares of colors I use more frequently — you never want to run out in the middle of an important project. When using colors, a little goes a long way. I start with just a little and test the result. You can always add more and deepen the color, but you usually can’t take color away.
For me, a cake design caries all the way through to its core. I often put extra effort into a visual surprise when the cake is cut. Alternating colors or flavors, coloring white cake batter, using colored buttercream, adding sprinkles to the filling — there are so many ways to have fun!
Tip: I strongly recommend investing in a high-quality cake leveler. It makes a huge difference keeping your tiers even, level and smooth.
