yepp. you can use any type of food coloring. just make sure that if your using your hands you wear gloves so your hands are stained!
Use the paste. Food coloring liquid will thin out the dough too much.
Yes, you can. Just remember that food coloring paste is a lot thicker than liquid food color so you use a lot less. Start with just a tiny bit on the end of a spoon and add more in tiny amounts as necessary. Usually 1/2 teaspoon of gel paste is equal to about 1.5 oz of liquid food (to put it into perspective - a shot and a half of liquid) colouring
You will need powdered food coloring and jelly (If you want you can use sweet jelly). Mix the jelly to a smooth paste and add the powder. :)
I just use very little brown gel paste coloring. You can also add a little ivory food color to your fondant.
The only way to make a truly black frosting is to use black paste food coloring. It is not possible to get true black by mixing other colors, and liquid food coloring is not dense enough to produce anything close to black.
You CANNOT use liquid food coloring---that will ruin the candy. You CAN use a paste or power food coloring purchased at a craft store like Michaels, Joannes etc or a cake/candy supply store. Also some gourmet cooking stores will have the right coloring. You can also buy candy melts from the same type of stores. They have red and pink candy melts. Also seen candy melts at Walmart in the craft/sewing section of the store.
it can colour it the colour you use :)
Make a thick paste with baking soda and water, and smooth it over the gum.
The only way to color sugar black is to use black food coloring. Black coloring is available as a paste color in many supermarkets and in craft shops that carry cake decorating supplies.
No, not at all. The paste coloring has a much more intense coloring effect, so I would recommend using about a half teaspoon, then check the color to see if you need to add a bit more. But you will need to increase your liquid to compensate for the loss of 2 fluid ounces, which can be done by increasing the oil and/or buttermilk by 2 ounces.
for an example:I added food coloring to the water to make it look pink
Jist the littkest drop or your mouth will get stained
