Hello new viewers! A few things to know...
-Yes I talk a lot Haha! I like to be more personal with my subscribers. Giving really give good detail is important ☺️
-YES it works on whipped icing and cream cheese icing.
It is work for whippit frosting?
Would this work for Italian or Swiss Buttercream?
Hello. Just wanted to pop by to let you know that your instructions for this hack are missing a few steps.
You don't microwave the entire batch. That makes the buttercream too loose, and then you have to chill it and rewhip it before you can use it.
The proper way to do it is to microwave a small portion of the buttercream and then add it back into the larger batch. It will still develop the color, and you don't lose the structure of the buttercream.
I discovered this hack about 4 or 5 years ago. If I had known that it was this useful, I would have made a video then.
Beli B Really helps me as well as the actual video. Big thanks to both of you ❤️❤️
I just tried it but I could not get the volume back in my buttercream and the colour also lightened again 😞
For those who don't want to listen through, add the red food colouring then mix it, and pop it in the microwave for 5 to 7 seconds. Then mix it again.
Thank you sm
Thank you lol
😂 thanks
This is a cool trick.I use a small amount of Black Cocoa powder in white icing then only need a small amount of black colouring to get intense black.
Girl.. thank you!!! You’re a life saver! I’m making a Pokémon cake for my son’s birthday and was I ever struggling to get the red needed for the pokeball… watched this and I have the perfect red now!!! THANK YOU!!!! ♥️
This is incredible. You have saved my attempt at a Spider-Man cake which was about to be a pink.
😂😂Sameee heree
Same
Lol i literally just did a spiderman cake and the americolor was really bitter. Next time i have a red cake im going with American buttercream.
I do italian buttercream so after i threw out my first icing i just went with me other food coloring. It worked fine.
Oh man this same happened to men also.😣
I just tried this! Doing a late night bake session for 4th of July weekend and I was really bummed that my red food dye was a pink tint. So glad I found this! I also used this trick for the blue to deepen that as well! Thank you!!
@raven did you microwave the whole batch of frosting?
Did it work for u
NO WAY !!, just was making a Xmas cake and saw this video, thank you
also prior to the microwave hack, I put a teaspoon of water to the buttercream and saw it go darker, it could be part of the liquifying process that it gets darker
Absolutely crazy. I found your tutorial after I have added a ton of red gel to my butter cream. Thank you so much.
This is amazing and totally works! You saved my batch of frosting. I did have to microwave it longer though, prob about 30 sec total! Thank you for posting!
I just tried this. It came out bright red. Love this hack. Will definitely save me money on this expensive food coloring I normally purchase
I saw this on TikTok, I’m so glad it really works and wasn’t just one of those joke videos on there!!!
Omg! You saved my pizza cake. I needed red for the sauce. I so appreciated this video. ❤️🍕
This really works! Thank you so much for making this video. I was hesitant to try this technique but when everything else failed I decided to try your “melting” method😆 Well it worked like a charm!! Incredible!!! I’ve been making cakes for 16 years and thanks to you I can now make a red cake!! Never too old to learn something new.
Wow! Saves a lot of time, effort and coloring!! Thanks!
This is amazing! I just tried it and it works 😁😁😁
MEE TOOO
OMG!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU. Works like magic. Highly appreciated 😍
Never heard about it wow thats amazing I myself have had a hard time making my red icing darker. Thanks for your video.
Omg!! It really does work! Thank you for sharing this. Just did burgundy roses instead of the usual dull red/pink. Awesome!!
What type of buttercream did you try it on. I'm wondering if it works on swiss meringue?
@@cynthiagoodard4023 ooh I'm not sure about that one as it would have egg. Try with a little bit. I did my experiment with about half cup of buttercream so not much risk. Let us know if it works 😊
I’m trying burgundy roses this weekend. Fingers-crossed it works. Lol
Works great with Swiss meringue buttercream
Thank you for this, I really appreciate you sharing. I have to do a cake in royal blue and I’m going to try this 🙌🏽
Thank you that's so amazing now I could do that to decorate my cupcakes and my cake with those red beautiful flowers❤🌹
Tried this microwave hack and it works for both red and black.
I'm surprised it works!
ruclips.net/user/shortsqeQvqFukAI8
Really wow thanks
Is it for fondant or also for royal icing?
@@clraffell I think it's just for buttercream.
If you have ever smoothed your red icing with a hot palette knife you will immediately notice the red color change to a deeper red
Omg!! Yes sister this works!! Thank you so much! Well I kept playing with it afterwards and used it for cake drip!! I wish I could post the picture on here!!!
What a great tip!! Thanks for sharing!
For buttercream, I add gel color when I mix butter. Then when I incorporate the sugar, it comes out with the bright or dark colors perfectly.
Do you have any advice for Swiss meringue buttercream? Would I put the coloring in the egg whites?
@@ediezwahlen8618 I haven't worked with swiss meringue....
@@ediezwahlen8618 But when I work on french macarons (Italian method), I do add the coloring to the meringue before mixing with almond/sugar mix. I guess there's only one way to find out; try it out and see if it works...🤞
@@ediezwahlen8618 I don't know if you still want to know this but look up Sugarologie! She has great tips for SMBC colouring
You're a life saver 😭 thank you I just tried it now and it worked. Thank you
I just tried it too but found it got lighter again when I whipped it for a minute in the stand mixer 😭 basically turned pink again... Did you notice this?
@@melaniehughes142 ohh yeah.. But after freezing the cake it turned back to that dark red..
Wooooow that amazing .... Thank you for sharing it dear
Yes thank you! I really needed this today and only found your video 😂 I just tried it and I'm shook lol
Can you do this to Royal icing??
The actual video starts at... 2026
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣i skip ahead. Verbal diarrhea
LOLLLLLLLLLLLL
😂😂😂😂
😂🤣😂
Ty
My trick to the spread the icing out in a large bowl, cover with Saran Wrap and put it under a fluorescent light. (I worked in a bakery and the lights were all like this) Stir every hour, for about 5 hours and the icing will become significantly darker. 👍👍👍👍
Really? Why does it work
The light darkens it, not sure why.
@@Courtney983 it probably heats it up too!
Who skipped the all video to just watch how she does those flowers
I agree with people not wanting to give good advice or help. I have watched and asked so many tutorials and questions! Basically I took all knowledge and tested it myself. I am so happy I stumbled on your channel! I subscribed and liked 😊 I was thinking of doing something similar, but giving people the nitty gritty of everything from taking the temp of my butter and/ or the watts on the microwave I have and so on
Thank you!! I would love to see your video and point of view😀
I literally just started making a red frosting 2 days ahead of time Only because the last time I had to make a red frosting (which was several weeks ago) I saw a Wilton post and it advised to make the frosting a couple days ahead of time for the color to set in. I just did earlier today a navy buttercream that I know I added way too much coloring too b it thankfully still tastes good. You saved my red buttercream.
This is a gd idea for a small batch of frosting....idk about a big one.....but if you let your buttercream sit for at least a day, it will darken in color...as with fondant
My eyes were hooked on the two stand mixer 😍 wishing to have one 😍😍😍
Same! I like the tiffany blue one
Same here😄😅
Me too
same here😍😍😍😍
Lol me too
Can’t take my eyes off your tshirt 🤩 love it
Thank you I need to make a 49rs cake and needed the bright red!!☺️
So cool!!!! 😍
I wanna know where u got yr Toaster. My kitchen is red and tealish!
I just tried this and yes, it did get darker, but it became very hard, added more water and re-whipped. Had a bunch of hard little lumps I had to try to smooth out too. Luckily I just did a test batch
Water? Yikes!
@@amandag4617 that's my same reaction
I just found you and the first video ..wow 😲 am going to try this wow thank you 😊
I love your t-shirt!
It really worked.. Thanks a lot for sharing..
Woah!!🤩🤩
You saved my day !! 🤩🤩 Thank you so much
Does it works also for whipping cream
So glad I found you!
I will definitely try this ! Thank you !
Although I was wondering what would happen if you microwave the gel food colour rather than the butter cream🤪may sound weird sorry
This is also what I was thinking & will do, rather than heat the whole icing. I really think the chemistry here is all about the temperature of the coloring. Like in example, we always need to heat up the coloring ( if in liquid ) to color chocolate, otherwise, your chocolate will become sandy or grainy.
Did you try your method and did it work?
Wow that,s super amazing thank you
I struggled with the same problem while using the Americolor brand of gel color. Someone in a RUclips video said they never had that problem and didn’t understand why everyone else does. The reason she didn’t have this issue was because she used the Chefmaster brand of gel color. Try it... it really works!
I have found americolor are all dull. Just my experience 🥺
What if I don't have it
It didn't work for me. Dont know if I had too much frosting in my bowl or not enough of red gel food coloring. Does the type of frosting make a difference?
I have to do get a bright toronto maple leaf blue in cream cheese buttercream this week. will give it a shot.
Do you add the small amount to the rest of the white frosting or do you have to do this to the whole batch?
This is incredible.
Does it work on chocolate drips ( white chocolate+ red gel color) ?
Wow, I have never heard this either. Thanks for sharing.
I wish I had seen this before I just frosted an entire cake with red frosting!
I just did red and white stripes 😭
+1
Red gets more red as it sits.
Same here..entire red rossette cake..with a dull red
Can't we add colour first only in melted butter..then refrigerate and blend ??
Is this for any buttercream icing?
Like a typical homemade with butter and or crisco?
That was so smart . Wish I had known this last week!
Me too omg I gave up on the red it kept coming out pink
Fantastic idea chef
Can I use this method with a big batch of buttercream?
Are you able to repeat similar method for other colors as well
Hi! It always hard for me to achieve red icing for my cakes. Will it work if I use different brand of gel?
Will it work with whipped cream?
It that American buttercream you used or non dairy cream can use this method too??
Will it work for whip cream or royal icing? If I don't use buttercream
whoah, two kitchen aid mixers! I need to step up my game lol.
I love them 🥰
Me too very very happy to know this
Incredible
How do you do this with a full batch buttercream?
I did it. Was nervous, but oh wow, amazing results😁
Incredible... does it work on other color too?
Hi there you don’t say how long you zapped it for in the microwave?? Please could you tell me as I’d like to try this 😀
That is AWESOME!! How would you get a whole recipe of icing for an entire cake that red? Would you microwave it a little at the time?
Exactly! How about a large batch?
There’s no reason you couldn’t microwave a big batch all at once. I assume it would do the exact same thing
@@melfree2545 Thanks.
Game changer!!!
Does it work with whipping cream too...??
What icing you used? Does it worked with whipcream?
U melt the cream after putting red colour??am I right or not???
Does this work with other frostings as well? Like whipped cream and cream cheese frosting?
Yes I just whipped the other week 😁
@@FrenchiesBakery did you have to chill it again or whip it again? ❤️
How about with Italian mirengue buttercream???
That's quite a crazy difference from just microwaving it. I don't know much about baking but it seems like this would be common knowledge among the community. How come it's so hard to find?
I am a professional baker and have never heard of this trick before either.
Hi! Can you share the cake groups you joined?
Awesome! It’s so funny because I clicked your channel to see if you did yours differently. I’m glad you are a sharer! I love when we all can help each other!!! I first found this tip on “Cakes by MK” Bright Buttercream Hack.
I look forward to seeing more😊
Can we do it with liquid color?..... And can we do it with all the colors or only red and black?
Very cool tip! Wonder if it would work for black?? Wow! 🤯
Yes
Does this trick work with whipping cream as well?
Does this hack work for non dairy whipped cream too ?
This works well with black also, but I melt a small portion of it and add it to my bigger batch and it has to do with the molecules
Have you tried it with royal icing?
@@claudiawesterlund2983 I haven't yet but I'll be doing some minnie mouse cookies today and will try it
@@claudiawesterlund2983 royal icing usually gets nice and black just with a black gel food coloring
How much time we have to put it in microwave?
@@prachikotalwar4388 she says 5-10 seconds
Great vid! Can this also be done with Swiss meringue buttercream?
Yess as long as therr is butter in it ..it will work
What about trying with dark blue
Would it still be safe to eat if I used heavy cream during the making of my buttercream?
Yes! I add heavy cream all the time to get the consistency of buttercream I want! 😁
So so helpful
Can i follow same procedures with whip cream
Very nice. Will this work for whipped cream frosting?
No, the whipped cream will melt so don't fo it! You can only do this with proper icing I.e butter/ icing sugar combo. Cream is all fat so will melt
Can this work without a microwave, like steam ir double-boiler?
Hi may i ask, what is the temperature of the microwave and how long? Thank you
She said 5-10 seconds
But it will stiff again after the heat if I put it back on deep fridge??
Is this American buttercream? Also what to do if it's a large batch of icing do we pop whole in microwave or just a bit and then mix it into the big batch
I have the exact same pig spatula set 💗
Does this work for Swiss meringue buttercream or American buttercream?
Same question
Yes,
Hi good tip ...qhat we should do if we dnt have microwave and we have otg can we do in dat ...r how can we use dis technique in gas top
Would this work with royal icing? :) Not sure how melting would effect the consistency.
I tried this with royal icing last Christmas and I ended up with a disaster. My red would not harden.
This comment is old but try adding a tinyyyy bit of brown to the red and see if that makes it more vibrant ☺️
