    Z A Hi Emily, thanks for these tips . It's very useful. You have used only 2 scoop of buttercream for coloring and its already easy to achieve dark color which is black, navy and deep red with this amount of frosting. How do we achieve these colors for big size of cakes?

    Yes! It won't make the brown colour as dark so you'll need to use a little bit more black gel to achieve a true black colour

    Have you ever tried black cocoa powder? Or any of the powdered colors? I've used the powders for macarons but not buttercream. Debating on ordering black cocoa powder because I can't find it locally.

    I use mostly the powered colours, and to get a smooth blend with the buttercream, it helps the add one or 2 drops of boiling water. But I have struggled with getting a nice navy or even black... so definitely going to try the tips in these videos!

    It's a little bit darker than regular cocoa powder but on its own it won't make buttercream black, just a dark grey colour. Just like melted chocolate, it's a good starting point to make the buttercream darker before adding black gel colour.

    Try using 80% power in the microwave (or 60% if your microwave is very powerful) and only melt for 30 seconds at a time. Stir for at least 30 seconds to disperse the heat and then repeat if necessary :)

    You are mixing so much color in such a small amount of cream, if we add that much color then the cream will become very bitter. You do this only just to be show in your video, but in reality it is not possible, we have to take care not only of color but also of taste
