oh my, when you make dark colors sometimes they have a ink taste to them. In the future start with another color first like pink then add burgandy. Some people use coolaid, cherry juice or something red to start.
I dont usually make dark colors but maybe try adding some additional flavor like butter flavor. I hope someone can come up with another idea.good luck


Are you using food coloring or Wilton icing colors? I use the icing colors and don't seem to have any problems, but then again I eat so much of the icing I don't know if I'd know the difference!


The last red cake I did, I used Americolor super red, which made a real true red color, but it was inedible because of the taste it added to the icing. I'm using Wilton no taste tulip red for a cake tonight and hoping for the best.

Do Americolor and Wilton have different types of coloroing? Is one easier to use than another? It seems to me Wilton doesn't have that big of a color selection-different boxes and names, but very simular.
