Hello all! I am going to attempt my first cookie bouquet and I'm looking for recommendations for coloring rolled buttercream. Any help would be great!!
Americolor soft gels work great, if you have them on hand. If not, the Wilton colors do the job too.
I usually break off a piece from my central batch and roll it into a ball. Then I make a well in the center. I put food coloring into the little well and then squish the rest of the RBC to cover the well. This way I don't get coloring on my hands and it colors from the inside out. I also wear wear food-safe gloves so I don't get color on my hands.
I put on food handling gloves, make a small well and add my coloring and then just work it all in.
Thank you so much! I found a local store that sells Americolor and I will try the well method!!
ditto to the other posters- and if you're coloring the entire batch the same color, you can add the coloring to the shortening stage in the mixer, so your hands don't get colored at all! Have fun!!!

This will work perfectly! I LOVE Americolors!
