So you mixed it and as we can see the portion gets smaller so... does it mean that there is proportionally more food dyer cause the frosting get compressed and less fluffy?
No hate, I just wanna understand ^^'
Yeah, no I see how that’s confusing and that’s my fault with how I filmed this. So what I did was add the gel color to the buttercream then mixed it. Then I took out half to save for the beginning shot where you see both the before and after for all the colors. Then I took the immersion blender and started blending the second half.
So there’s a slight decrease in volume, because the immersion blender does knock out some air, but not as drastic as you see in the bowl.
I should have explained that better.🧁💕
Also, if you're looking for the immersion blender I'm using in the vid, it's right here: amzn.to/3T7YRXm If you don't want to use Amazon, you can google: Mueller Ultra-Stick 500 Watt Immersion Blender. It's around $30.
@@Sugarologie oh okay, thank you very much
even if it gets compressed, proportions stays the same
@@koteghe7600 In theory there is less air in frosting so we got proportionally more food colouring comparing to cream volume
@@Avendesora Yeah darling, that's what I mean. If I wrote something not clear enough than I am sorry. English is not my first language ^^'
The heat is true! I’ve heard a trick is to microwave a small portion of your frosting, add the dye to it, and then mix it all into the rest of the frosting and let it cool so it’s the right texture. I’ve tried and it does make the color more vivid but I think an immersion blender would work better at keeping textures true to type!
I used to do this when i worked st a bakery. Or, if i was able to plan my colors, I'd let the icing sit with the color and remix the next day.
I’ve heard of the microwave it then let it sit and re-whip later or the next day once it had cooled. I had wondered about this trick vs that one. The heat part of the immersion blender makes sense now. 😊
Nifty hack!
I do that trick too but sometimes it can change the bc texture if I heat it too many time by trying to deepen the colour
Yes, it also helps prevent making the consumers' mouth and teeth stained.
Wow! This is fascinating! You’ve opened my eyes to a better way of coloring my bakes. Thank you!
This is insane to me. I don’t bake. I know very little about cooking and even less about baking. Just never enjoyed it like I do cooking. But it’s crazy that you can get such drastic results from one little action. Truly blew my mind 😅
Baking 🤝 Science
@@MIS315 tf you mean uhhh no, baking and science go hand in hand.
You're amazing. Saving people heartache, time, money, etc. You're the best!
Heartache from frosting..?
@@jawaela 🙄 I wasn't talking about this video only. Don't be pedantic.
Heartbreak from frosting could be true. If you're trying to make a special cake for someone but are struggling to get bright colours, this video can help with that.
Meringue frostings will always be more pastel and need more dye because the air bubbles beat into them, so the way I’ve been getting the color to work is: take a spoonful of the finished frosting, add your dye and microwave it and mix, then mix that warm mixture back into your frosting and it will spread through the entire frosting simply because the color covers more surface area. Plus I don’t have an emulsion blender 😋
Can we take a moment to appreciate the different spoons matching each colour? Such a small, time consuming act and yet still she did it. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
This is the same principle we use for making oil paint! It isn’t good enough to just mix pigment and vehicle, you also have to mull it for a while. You want pigment particles with the highest possible surface area - volume ratio, otherwise a ton of pigment is hidden INSIDE the particle and not being seen.
This is also why when you mix two paint colors together, you loose a bit of saturation. If you mixed those two colors and then mulled them, it would get that saturation back!
Wish I knew that when I made my kids birthday cake. I have to use natural food color because he has allergies, and they already come out so much lighter than gel color would
she has some recipes on her site with naturally colored frostings! no dyes
Love this! Knowing the chemistry behind what you're doing in cooking/baking can be SO helpful!
Your knowledge and wisdom blows my mind. I'm a pastry chef by trade and I have a great understanding of how baking works, but you take it to a whole new level. Just wow!!!
This is so cool. I’m definitely going to try this, its so frustrating trying to get vibrant colours and adding more and more colouring, only to still end up with pastels lol 😂
Have you tried microwaving a small amount then remixing it in? Generally that's the easiest way to intensify colours, youtube it, you'll find lots of videos showing it.
@@scoopsdaniel may try that as well, would be interesting to compare the results, thanks for the tip 🙂
This channel is an ABSOLUTE MUST for aspiring bakers. ❤
Since most people probably don't have an immersion blender, you can also just use a microwave. Separate a small bit of meringue, add the gel coloring and mix it, then microwave it. It'll melt, but the color will be bolder and once you add it back to the rest of the meringue, you can whip it back up again
I'm guessing it only works best on meringue type icings? What about American buttercream?
Perfect timing! I'm baking my daughters cake and cupcakes and using Swiss mirangue
Brilliant technique! Thanks for sharing it. I will drag out my blender next time instead of microwaving and see which is more effective
This is miles better than the melting trick!
Okay so this is super interesting and very very informative and good advice but
Pro tip: if you want your buttercream to be super light and fluffy, this is not the ideal method. By blitzing it at a high speed and temp you’re melting the butter a tiny bit but also destroy all of those little air pockets you’ve created by whipped the buttercream.
While this method is fantastic for silky smooth and brightly coloured icing, if you still want light and fully I would recommend using powdered pigment for colouring. As is stated in the short gel food colouring is water based and attempted to mix with a fat won’t work as well, however if you use powdered food colouring pigment (harder to find but defs worth it) you should still get some strong colouring and keep that light and fluffy texture!
you have one of my favorite channels on here- great information presented concisely with first knowledge and personal experience
This is awesome! Thank you! Will be saving heaps on food colouring now 😂
You are amazing. A wealth of knowledge and you share it with us to spread the joy and make life easier for bakers. Thank you
Immersion blender is pretty worth it especially if you like creamy soup. This is cool even though I will never use it.
What I like is that it’s the same thing but with more color options because the softer more “pastel” colors can also be used just like that for a different look. One tool gives a whole separate palet and that’s really cool to me
This also works by slightly microwaving, or heating whatever you need coloured! And then if needed, freeze/put it in the fridge again, and you get the same result if you don't have an immersion blender
Thank you for this information!
Fascinating!! Thank you for explaining and showing examples!
The contrast between the colours is blowing my mind. Would never guess they contain exactly the same ingredients in the same proportions
I love how you explain things in your videos.. I had no idea you could make frosting more opaque by doing this.. This is really helpful.. 🙂
I love this and never knew…thank you!
THANK YOU!! So many aren’t willing to share such info!! You’re great!
Hi. I am from Europe, where every household hold has a scale and an immersion blender (but most of us don't have standing mixer). It is much easier to blend in a narrow high container. Usually immersion blenders are sold with such a cup since it is the easiest way to make mayonnaise. An investment in such a narrow cup could come in very handy for your small scaled frostings 🙂
Why would you say it like this? Scales and immersion blenders are common in many other places too. I swear Europeans think they're all geniuses when you're all just smug and ignorant.
Jesus dude, that comment was way too intense. They're just trying to be helpful and inform us bc they may do things differently. I, for one, am ignorant about what is normal or common for Europeans, so I see why they'd say this. Way to be racist..
@@lavenderohcalm down. I only wanted to explain where my comment comes from. Why do you take just an informational comment as a personal attack?
American kitchen equipment is different to what I am familiar with.
Most people don't have measuring cups in Europe. All the grandma recipes are in grams. Measuring cups is something you only find in shops these last years because of Pinterest, RUclips and American recipes.
I know most Americans have standing blenders. Here it is uncommon.
What a difference thanks for sharing information!!
The difference is amazing! Thanks for the explaining the science of why this happens.
Never knew this! Great tip thanks for sharing!!
One thing about gel food coloring is it is made for coloring things that are fat based versus liquid food coloring. Early in my career I once made the mistake of trying to color royal icing (which is made with egg whites and no fat in it) with gel food coloring. But because royal icing has no fat in it, it did NOT jive. The gel coloring made the royal icing start to loosen and become fluid even. I Was trying to pipe Xmas trees and had to remake the royal icing from the beginning. Lesson learned lol
What you brought to mainstream baking knowledge is game changing, kudos ma'am
Oh my goodness! So glad I found your vid, such a great tip I’d never think of myself. Thank you ❤
I love your videos so much. They’re always so interesting and insightful. You can tell you’re really out here experimenting and it’s beautiful to witness via RUclips

I'm never going to use the knowledge that you are imparting onto me but I appreciate it all the same. This is really cool.
AMAZING!! Thanks for sharing! Now! Need to buy one!
THANK YOU!! I needed more baking immersion blender hacks 😻💖
i love the pastel
Wow, that is an eye-opener! Such a simple trick, but super effective! I'm so using this. My future attempts at frosting flowers are gonna be so much more vibrant. I mean... I'll be honest, they'll still be messy, but they'll be colorful!
Both are really pretty.
love your content thanks for putting this out i greatly appreciate it!!!
Nice! Great tip. Saves time and money!
Wow!! Thank you! I’ve been having issues developing colors! I’m going to try this. Thanks!
Love the shades
The results are insane!
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!
Genius!!🤯 Thank you🙏🏾😊
Thank you for sharing this technique 🙏
I used this recently to color a cake I made for a friend’s nonprofits birthday. It was perfect and while the shade of blue was a little off for what I was going for, the blender made it so bright!
this was a really great explanation thank you!!
Tried this on my most recent cupcake order and it worked wonders! Thank you so much for this tip! It worked so well😁
This method looks way better than microwaving the frosting, like I've seen suggested in other videos.
I made my daughter a rainbow cake for her 3rd birthday and she's wanted one every year since. I can't wait to see how much better it's gonna be now with your incredible techniques!
I tried this today and OMG it works! Game changer! 🎉
Amazing! Now i knoe more! Thank you❤️

I just got an immersion blender today, super excited to do this !!!!
Best tip EVER!!! Thank u
I like how you think when it comes to making your icing. I need to get myself one of those real quick like.
Oh wow!!! That's incredible!!!
Oh my god, me and my mom have been making cakes and decorating them for long as i can remember, and could never get this bright colours, this hack is going to blow my mom’s mind away🤯 i cant wait to tell her! Tysm 🙏✨
Can't wait to try this! 😍
Just be sure to double the amount of icing as with the air removed you come up with a much denser frosting.
That’s actually amazing 😮.
Thank you for not buying some big lab thing. It helped up learn for home cooks. I wish I learned this when I was 14 and just starting to frost cakes.
This is incredible! I didn't even know this was possible lol
Wow thank you for your tips. I have struggling with the color to make darker especially the red color. I will try this someday when I bake. Hope this work for me 🙏
Fantastic tip! Can't wait to try it! ❤
