Hi...I was just wondering if your black icing stains peoples mouths (as mine do!) I use a gel food colour. If yours don't, please share what you use.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Hello Tanya: I never colour my icing black, aiming for a shade of dark grey instead. Most colours darken over time, so if you make it dark grey (which requires a lot less food colouring), it will darken to black. I know which shade of dark grey I am going for, so I usually apply it to the cookies as dark grey and it dries black. You might want to experiment a bit first to achieve the grey that darkens to black. Having said that, I find people shy away from black icing, so I avoid or minimize it when possible (hard at Halloween). I use Americolor food colouring. Great question, thank you!
