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 ^^'

Wow! This is fascinating! You’ve opened my eyes to a better way of coloring my bakes. Thank you!

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. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

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!

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!!!

[hannahkoning]

The contrast between the colours is blowing my mind. Would never guess they contain exactly the same ingredients in the same proportions

This channel is an ABSOLUTE MUST for aspiring bakers. ❤

What you brought to mainstream baking knowledge is game changing, kudos ma'am

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!

i would like to see a volume comparison between the buttercream/frostings after being immersion blended,

as well to see if the colour lightens if it is rewhisked into its fluffy more matte finiahed frosting and if we regain the lost bulk if the frosting.

also it would be cool to see a immersion vs partal melting method iv heard other talk about where a amount of froaying is dyed and heated to get the dye fully inforperayed then mixed in to the rest,
it would ne nice to know if partial melting vs immersion vs immersion and rewhisking has the best balance of deeper colour and fluffyness and matte vs shiny finish.


love your vid especially the descriptions of how/why thing work.

You're amazing. Saving people heartache, time, money, etc. You're the best!

[ADub]

Love this! Knowing the chemistry behind what you're doing in cooking/baking can be SO helpful!

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 is miles better than the melting trick!

[digitalharmony]

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 😅

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 😋

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.

[stashagarcia]

Brilliant technique! Thanks for sharing it. I will drag out my blender next time instead of microwaving and see which is more effective

[sheryl]

I tried this today and OMG it works! Game changer! 🎉

[Smorans]

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 😂
