I'm a hairstylist who always uses purple to cut yellow in hair. Why did I not think of this? Brilliant!!

[@margotangus942]

Right! I was thinking the same. Great Tip

[@debjudisch5548]

Not a hairstylist, but been many shades of blond throughout my life, and have used this to cut brassiness. Well, for ME this gives a whole new meaning to, "dumb blond!" Geez...

[@amitee7118]

I was literally just thinking omg its purple shampoo😂😂

[@lianaudage7781]

Yaaa correct

[@lynnjepson8218]

any purple? Violet, lavender....and different brands have different formulas...help!

[@leonawebb24]

If you are the one who came up with this your a genius. Ive been baking for years and this blew my mind.

[@selinaburford6771]

Makes sense to use purple. Who knew kindergarten color wheel would help with baking. Love it!

[@NeuroticMomBakes]

Hahaha

I bet there isnt a baker out there who doesnt wish they came up with this

[@oilinmylamp]

Amazing! Purple truly cancels out yellow just like hair dye/color!!!

[@susul2843]

Oh wow, this is exactly like toning bleached hair! Why didn't I think of this, genius 🙌🙌🙌

[@CuteSladkiy]

@Avril Killinger you are a terrible friend

[@Melpiii04]

Can you do one for facebook?

[@codybell5304]

Exactly this is how you neutralize unwanted yellow tones in hair color. Simply awesome 👌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙂

[@NeuroticMomBakes]

Thanks!

[@annpotter6129]

Wow. This is amazing. I can’t believe this isn’t commonly known. Absolutely going to do this on the next cake.

[@marekharing]

It's like purple shampoo for your buttercream! Love it!

[@NeuroticMomBakes]

Exactly!

[@brizeirysilva3760]

That's so awesome! I've done that when coloring my hair but would have never thought to do it to buttercream. 😍

[@mantitsogka3693]

I had the same thought exactly 🤣🤣

[@marionsgray]

Just like the purple shampoo gets rid of yellowing... Genius 😊

[@buddyholly4672]

Wow! In all my years of baking I've never come across this tip! Genius! Just like toning hair!

[@NeuroticMomBakes]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lauraperkins586]

I could hug you!!! This is the best tip! You're a genius, I've been searching for such a quick fix for years! Thank you.

[@xolio1993]

[@Thievinghippies]

I love this! Also kinda mad I never thought to try it, because I took so many art classes and should’ve remembered color theory 😂 Thank you!!

[@NeuroticMomBakes]

Thanks!

[@tracynguyen9484]

I was just going to buy white food colouring. Thank you for this!

[@gingerican_8312]

OMG! This is amazing!!! I definitely could have used this trick last weekend…but I will definitely use it for a cake next month! Thank you so much!

[@amarakhan9033]

Wow
you recall me, long ago when my mom used to whiten the white clothes by adding that blueing liquid in final rinse. And i noticed that blue liquid was quite purple.
Good idea.

[@madhurikatakam4944]

I was thinking the same too 👍

[@maryefunkoya7151]

Wow, thanks for this. Definitely trying this.

[@NeuroticMomBakes]

Thanks!

[@wilalessandro]

[@SaffronBreeze]

Your buttercream tutorial saved my daughter's birthday last month!! THANK YOU!! I wish I would have known about this trick, but it's all good!

[@NeuroticMomBakes]

You are so welcome! Thanks!

[@deborahtoole4427]

Was it too sweet? Did you make it exactly?

[@SaffronBreeze]

@@deborahtoole4427 I followed the tutorial, and it was perfect. Buttercream frosting is always super sweet...?

[@frenchfriar]

When I need a really white icing, I replace the butter with shortening. You actually get a firmer buttercream that doesn't melt as easily, and there's less of a problem with having to counter yellowness.
I tend to flavor mine with dark extracts, but still get pretty decently white frostings with shortening, using this tip of adding a tiny bit of purple will probably make them even whiter.

[@NeuroticMomBakes]

It’s true. But I cannot stand the taste and mouth-feel of the shortening. Just my opinion. It’s very good for stability especially and humid weather also

[@nilsperry7736]

I just tried it and it really works!!! Thank you so much for your awesome tip!!!! God bless you!!!!!!!

[@alexrivera9368]

What!!!! Thank you for your secrets 💖💖💖

[@aninXasil]

Ha! Makes total sense... it's like taking out the brassy tones for blonde hair coloring. Thank you for this tip!

[@antheadescally9142]

Wow thats amazing!!! Wish I had watched this in the morning before I made my vanilla cake this morning... Haha

[@NeuroticMomBakes]

Thanks!
