EASY TRICKS TO MAKE THE PERFECT ICING COLOR

[@barbb8117]

This is GREAT information to have. I had NO idea I could create such pretty colors by adding ivory or black. Thank you for sharing this!

[@LittleCookieCo]

You're very welcome! It's such a great trick to have up your sleeve especially if you're in a pinch!!

[@lisawallace3124]

That last purple is my favorite!! Purples of all kinds are my favorite color, but the deeper "royal" purple is my #1 💜💜

[@LittleCookieCo]

Purple is such a hard colour to get in icing sometimes but when you have the right colour, it's so beautiful 💜

[@roxiesolis157]

WOW! I love how you went step by step and your voice was made for this! I learned a lot, thank you

[@LittleCookieCo]

Aww thank you so much!! I'm not a fan of listening to my own voice 🙈 so I'm glad you enjoyed it 🥰

[@susanmitchell3572]

I have learned so much by watching your videos and I love the voice over …there’s so many cookie videos …that do not talk , and just show the skill …and you don’t learn .. you just leave the video having so many questions…. so I love your channel and I appreciate what you do to help me or anybody that is a beginner starting out ….thank you thank you thank you

[@LittleCookieCo]

That makes me so happy to hear 🥰🥰 I remember being a beginner and having a million questions and just wanting my cookies to look like everyone else's, so I try to make videos of all the stuff i had questions on. So I'm glad you find them helpful, I'm doing something right 😁

[@GoMommaGo]

Excellent tutorial. If you don’t have a ton of art experience, like myself, and mixing colors is daunting, a simplified lesson like this one is very helpful! Thank you!

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@VickiFerrier]

Hi, once again I just have to say your videos are the best I've seen, I love that your camera is completely focused on the task and lesson you are highlighting. And I love the music as well. For me, learning something new and challenging can be stressful and your calm demeanor and quiet music are so helpful!🙂 thanks so much for making these videos!

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your comment! I'm so happy you enjoy the videos and I always hope to make the whole learning process more stressful, so thank you ❤️🥰

[@eileenhurley7473]

Your videos have helped me start my cookie decorating journey...from icing recipe to consistencies, and now color-tweaking. I prefer a muted palette, but had no idea how to achieve that from the bright Chefmaster gels I use. Thank you for your time and sharing your expertise! Grateful!

[@LittleCookieCo]

That makes me so happy! That's exaclty why I make these videos , I want to show that anyone can decorate cookies and make it look less intimidating. Thank you for your comment and glad you find the video helpful ❤❤

I just started cookie decorating. I love to bake cakes and cupcakes and the like, never thought of cookies like this until I came across your videos. I love them. I had no idea you get obtain such beautiful colors, especially from black. :) I’m ordering more food coloring today.. I’m excited to create all these new colors and decorating ideas! ❤

[@LittleCookieCo]

[@lauraski2858]

Love this video! Thanks so much! I’m trying to achieve a mauve or dusty rose shade. This was so helpful

[@LittleCookieCo]

So happy it helped!!

[@Canuckmom128]

I’ve used the black gel trick in the past to shade colours of buttercream, but you read my mind with this video post. I’m currently working on the “Give Away” Cookies for my son and DIL’s Wedding. The second design is a large plaque with a Wedding Cake on a gold stand. I want the background Colour to be a muted, eucalyptus green because that is her primary décor colour. I’ve probably got 6 different shades of green gel, but this colour definitely requires custom mixing. Thanks for this great info. Very helpful and timely. Cheers.

[@LittleCookieCo]

That's awesome, so glad it was great timing that you saw this. The ivory will trick will be perfect for that! And how sweet of you to make the cookies for them 🥰 congratulations to your son and DIL ❤️

[@ginasv1857]

Thank you so much! your colors came out absolutely beautiful! I just bought a set of ann Clarks color gels unfortunately it does not have hot pink I am trying to make a watermelon pink color not sure what colors to blend

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you!! And don't worry, just get the basic colours, red, green, blue, yellow, black, purple and ivory and you'll have a range of colours that you can mix. Then as you need just slowly add to your collection! And have fun and try different combos out!

[@pamelaklemp5615]

Beautifully done ✔ 👏. Creating a custom Color Palette 🎨 is so rewarding for that individual touch of elegance. Back in the day Artists 🎨 would create a custom color that they used often and the color became instantly associated with their Artworks. A Signature Color of sorts for visual impact associated with the Artists.

[@LittleCookieCo]

I love this!! I didn't know that!!

[@pamelaklemp5615]

@LittleCookieCo Yep. Back in the day (decades ago) my father's "Signature Colors" were made of genuine Gold Dust. He was quite known for it and art was his passion. He painted everything from Billboard Signs, the back of Firefighter Jackets, and the Names and required numbers for Boats and Racing Cars. Holiday Showroom Windows were his favorite 😍. Mr. PEANUT was a favorite 😍 too.

Thank you so much for sharing this! I once had to make a certain shade of blue for some cookies…..it took a minute but I was able to make it🤦🏾‍♀️. But after watching your video, I now know an easier au to do this. The funny part is, is that the blue you created with the ivory was the shade I made……keep living and never stop learning!❤️!

[@LittleCookieCo]

Yes I agree with you!! There's alwyas new things to learn and that's what keeps it fun and interesting 🥰 thanks ❤

[@christinavigorandmoxie]

I'm new to all of this and this was sooooo helpful! I had no idea ivory could change the color so beautifully! I always thought people added in brown and that kind of freaked me out. lol

[@LittleCookieCo]

It's such a great trick to know! It let's me create so many more colours than I care to buy 🤣

[@kathleenjohnson458]

Very good information! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you ❤

[@carrieh2409]

this is awesome, thank you! Can I ask a question about keeping your colours? I was told to place my finished cookies in the oven at 150F for 20-30 min to completely dry out the icing. But they came out faded, with almost a cloudy whitish film. Any idea how I can avoid this in the future….I almost cried after all the hours spent detailing and the to have beautiful soft pastel icing colours turn so totally unappealing 😢. Thanks for any help you can share with me.

[@lynnestoner4765]

These colors are amazing! Who knew? Can you tell me how I would make Blush pink? I'm making cupcakes for a blush, nude and white wedding. Thank you!

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you!! For a blush pink colour I think I would try to mix some pink with a touch of red, just to give it more of a blush colour and not so pink or not so red! And if it's too bright aff a touch of ivory!

[@SusanneGeert]

​ @LittleCookieCo One more question: How would you mix the lovely, muted "gingerbread man colour" seedn everywhere around Christmas? Thanks a lot in advance ☺

[@LittleCookieCo]

I usually mix a warm brown with a chocolate brown, but if you want a soft colour just go easy on the colour as it deepens as it sits!

[@sheilabeacriticalthinker]

Thank you for the information.

[@LittleCookieCo]

❤️❤️

[@susilapatel7728]

Oh wow! These colors are beautiful. I need help with yellow. I have Wilton lemon color, what col should I add to make it egg yolk color?

[@LittleCookieCo]

I always have lemon yellow and egg yellow on hand because I find one is too bright and one is too dull hehe. So for me mixing the 2 work great. However if you only have lemon yellow, try adding a touch of orange to it if you have some. Add a tiny bit at a time until you see the shade you like. Just to deepen the yellow a bit, if it's too bright for you a very tiny touch of ivory can help to tone it down as well.

[@lrb1651]

I loved watching this video! Very helpful! Can you tell me what the shelf life of Americolor or Chefmaster coloring might be? Thank you! Lesa

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you, so happy you liked it! I don't think the gel colours have an expiry date (but I may be wrong). I think they have like a best before date, maybe around 2 years or so, but I think that's more just a date. I even searched it and read a few places that said they don't really expire as long as they're kept closed and in a dark room temperature place. But I'm not 100% sure on that.

[@lrb1651]

[@Am4ndeepSingh]

​@@LittleCookieCobtw too many drops will not make the cream bitter or these liquid gels of your are different than normal one?

[@LittleCookieCo]

The colours are strong so you don't need a lot but also when I've made deep colours and used a lot, I've never had a bad taste to my icing.

[@SusanneGeert]

I am going to make cookies later today and don't have time to buy new colours. Do you think I can get the same (more or less) effect if I use brown instead of ivory? I will use less than if is was ivory, but wouldn't a "normal" brown have the same "muting" effect - you think? Thanks in advance 👐​ @LittleCookieCo

[@LittleCookieCo]

I'm not sure if my comment was in time or not, but I think it could work, or even a little bit of white and light brown? If you tried it let me know if it worked!!

What happens if you add both ivory and black? Will the color get too muddled up? Just curious. I didn't know about the ivory, now I have to go get it!

Can you use this icing for cakesicles? I want to try for first time 😁 You have nice color love them 🥰

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you so much! This icing wouldn't work too well, as it would probably crack in the mold. But you can use candy melts which work great and buy colours specific for candy melts or chocolate and can make these colours. I'm hoping to do a tutorial on cakesicles soon!
