Hello. Just wanted to pop by to let you know that your instructions for this hack are missing a few steps. You don't microwave the entire batch. That makes the buttercream too loose, and then you have to chill it and rewhip it before you can use it. The proper way to do it is to microwave a small portion of the buttercream and then add it back into the larger batch. It will still develop the color, and you don't lose the structure of the buttercream. I discovered this hack about 4 or 5 years ago. If I had known that it was this useful, I would have made a video then.

I just tried it but I could not get the volume back in my buttercream and the colour also lightened again 😞

For those who don't want to listen through, add the red food colouring then mix it, and pop it in the microwave for 5 to 7 seconds. Then mix it again.

This is a cool trick.I use a small amount of Black Cocoa powder in white icing then only need a small amount of black colouring to get intense black.

Girl.. thank you!!! You’re a life saver! I’m making a Pokémon cake for my son’s birthday and was I ever struggling to get the red needed for the pokeball… watched this and I have the perfect red now!!! THANK YOU!!!! ♥️

Absolutely crazy. I found your tutorial after I have added a ton of red gel to my butter cream. Thank you so much.

I just tried this! Doing a late night bake session for 4th of July weekend and I was really bummed that my red food dye was a pink tint. So glad I found this! I also used this trick for the blue to deepen that as well! Thank you!!

This is amazing and totally works! You saved my batch of frosting. I did have to microwave it longer though, prob about 30 sec total! Thank you for posting!

NO WAY !!, just was making a Xmas cake and saw this video, thank you also prior to the microwave hack, I put a teaspoon of water to the buttercream and saw it go darker, it could be part of the liquifying process that it gets darker

I saw this on TikTok, I’m so glad it really works and wasn’t just one of those joke videos on there!!!

Never heard about it wow thats amazing I myself have had a hard time making my red icing darker. Thanks for your video.

I just tried this. It came out bright red. Love this hack. Will definitely save me money on this expensive food coloring I normally purchase

Omg! You saved my pizza cake. I needed red for the sauce. I so appreciated this video. ❤️🍕

This really works! Thank you so much for making this video. I was hesitant to try this technique but when everything else failed I decided to try your “melting” method😆 Well it worked like a charm!! Incredible!!! I’ve been making cakes for 16 years and thanks to you I can now make a red cake!! Never too old to learn something new.

I literally just started making a red frosting 2 days ahead of time Only because the last time I had to make a red frosting (which was several weeks ago) I saw a Wilton post and it advised to make the frosting a couple days ahead of time for the color to set in. I just did earlier today a navy buttercream that I know I added way too much coloring too b it thankfully still tastes good. You saved my red buttercream.

Wow! Saves a lot of time, effort and coloring!! Thanks!

Thank you that's so amazing now I could do that to decorate my cupcakes and my cake with those red beautiful flowers❤🌹

Thank you for this, I really appreciate you sharing. I have to do a cake in royal blue and I’m going to try this 🙌🏽

OMG!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU. Works like magic. Highly appreciated 😍

This is a gd idea for a small batch of frosting....idk about a big one.....but if you let your buttercream sit for at least a day, it will darken in color...as with fondant

For buttercream, I add gel color when I mix butter. Then when I incorporate the sugar, it comes out with the bright or dark colors perfectly.

If you have ever smoothed your red icing with a hot palette knife you will immediately notice the red color change to a deeper red

My trick to the spread the icing out in a large bowl, cover with Saran Wrap and put it under a fluorescent light. (I worked in a bakery and the lights were all like this) Stir every hour, for about 5 hours and the icing will become significantly darker. 👍👍👍👍

This is also what I was thinking & will do, rather than heat the whole icing. I really think the chemistry here is all about the temperature of the coloring. Like in example, we always need to heat up the coloring ( if in liquid ) to color chocolate, otherwise, your chocolate will become sandy or grainy.

Also Wilton gel food coloring are more concentrated and give you a brighter red.

It that American buttercream you used or non dairy cream can use this method too??

Fantastic idea chef

Can't we add colour first only in melted butter..then refrigerate and blend ??

Are you able to repeat similar method for other colors as well
