How To Achieve Dark Royal Blue For Your Fondant!

It's difficult to get a dark royal blue color for your fondant by only using the royal blue food coloring. There are other colors that need to be added. And in this video, I will show you how much of each color I add to achieve this deep royal blue fondant!

[@KarolynsKakes]

Thank you Josefina! I'll try to figure out how to film something like that?

[@justlooking4me]

Thank you. I saw this video just in time.

[@KarolynsKakes]

Glad it was helpful!

[@louiselemon9717]

Hi Karolyn! Thanks

[@lolomaqbool]

Brilliant 👍🏼 😻, can you show us how to achieve vibrant colors as well

[@karenhodges4933]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@antoyaellis4063]

How far in advance can I make my fondant decorations ? And how should I store the fondant decorations until ready to but on cake?

[@nazafred6018]

Wow. Will this also work with Wiltons or any other brand of colour?

[@KarolynsKakes]

Yes! I use a bunch of different brands. 😊

[@ntur117]

Do you have a recipe for fondant?

[@debtink5756]

Hi Karolyn I’ve tried to get this blue I needed the colour you got the problem is when I tried to use it to make figures it cracked in places I have rolled and kneaded it but still cracked could it be all the colour that has been added? I can’t seem to get an answer to this cracking problem can you help please. I did mix gum paste & fondant together. Thanks in advance

[@KarolynsKakes]

If anything, adding coloring will make the fondant softer. Gum paste dries very quickly, so if you don't work fast enough, you can have issues like you're experiencing. Also, store bought fondant is prone to drying out and elephant skin. I ONLY work with my homemade marshmallow fondant and I add Tylose powder to help stiffen it up. I've found that I get the best result doing it that way!

[@Israna523.]

Thank u! Same for Buttercream or Swiss Meringue?

[@KarolynsKakes]

Yup! 🙌

[@derail6969]

Thank you for the video, I have a question I have aluminum cookie cutters with this exact cut out ,have you ever tried to use a cookie cutter to just stamp it out of the fondant?

[@KarolynsKakes]

I've used cookie cutters before! I've actually bought a few and used them to cut fondant. 😊

[@derail6969]

Good to no it will work I'm going to do it this weekend,lol I'm getting out of my comfort zone thanks to u. Thank u again 👍

[@yummycakes4422]

Hello my sweetie Question I want to make same colour but in butter cream frosting what shall I do Waiting for your reply

[@KarolynsKakes]

I don't really color icing this dark because a lot of color is required. There is a microwave technique for icing (I haven't personally done it) which I hear helps to deepen the color. So maybe watch one of those videos and try that technique by using these ratios, but with less coloring? Let me know how it turns out!

[@KatrinaTagle-gw5ji]

Can I use oil based color mill or it has to be gel?

[@KarolynsKakes]

Hmmmm, I'm not sure as I've only ever used gel colors to color fondant.

[@KatrinaTagle-gw5ji]

How do you have to let it not be sticky?

[@KarolynsKakes]

Here's a video where I show how to make the fondant! kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4Wkq4Cdpa-Wb68

[@lizgonzales729]

Does color deepen on fondant like it does in buttercream?

[@littlelady3895]

Actually it does... Not a lot but it does. I have also added color to the Fondant and did short bursts in the microwave like with Buttercream and it was richer in color

[@KarolynsKakes]

Great tip, thanks girl!🙌

[@littlelady3895]

@@KarolynsKakes I watch a lot of these kids of videos. And I have been trying different techniques, tips n tricks, and incorporate them into other things as well. Most of what I watch is yours tutorials. I don't always apply your techniques in the same manner as what your doing. I try and think logically, and use the tips I learn in different ways. The Richer fondant was actually an accident. I warmed it up in the microwave, my dogs got loose and it was several hrs before I could get back to my cakes. And noticed when I had to warm it up again, that it was much Richer in color. Also, when doing small amounts of fondant, I go through my big batch, take off chunks for each different color. I have a box of Fold and Seal sandwich bags( I actually bought for chocolate popcorn last Christmas lol) I divide the batch up between the bags. Twist and tuck. When I go through and color each to the colors I need, I put back in the bags. And store in an air tight container until I am ready to make my decorations. When I know I don't have time to make each decorations to the end, I will color the batches, come back and work on them later. As long as your not leaving them for days, it seems to be fine. Like this week, I had 4 cakes I was doing, two identical, so I knew I needed so much of each color and did them all at the same time to save time. I can go back and forth between them as they dry, and I don't have to keep stopping to color Fondant.

[@lolomaqbool]

@@littlelady3895 I've noticed that too 👍🏼😻

[@littlelady3895]

I had a cake come in last minute Zarantonello thanking God the colors I needed, were the same as I already had made up. So I was able to use the left overs from the first two cake Toppers to do the 4th last minute cake. I seriously didn't spend but the time to decorate the cake. As I had already had a couple extra cakes in my freezer, some extra Buttercream frosting made up. Making the decorations for that cake was all the time I had to fit into what was already a Busy week. I noticed that all the Fondant I had already colored from before was fine, parts that had tylose powder in it, could not be used, but I had enough extras to make the signs I needed. Finding ways to use and not waste, time, money, Supplies, is definitely a must in this business, when you are starting out. The cake was $85, Everything I needed, I was able to use from left overs, except the cake. Which I made for a different project I had to put on hold.

[@twistedsprinklescakes3750]

I'm dying to know when cover cakes is the Fondant rock hard? Be cause even when I add a tiny bit after 1 day its so hard. Helppppp. Thank u

[@KarolynsKakes]

Hmmmm, I don't have the issue with the fondant getting rock hard unless I add too much Tylose powder. Are you using Marshmallow Fondant?

[@twistedsprinklescakes3750]

@@KarolynsKakes I re did your recipe and I think you mentioned once you use 1/4 tsp I cant remember but omg it works perfectly and now no more broken fondant. Thank u

[@littlelady3895]

I am in need of making my Violet into a deep purple... Like in Nightmare Before. My cake is due the 15th, and I can't get it in time if I order on line. My local store only had Violet

[@KarolynsKakes]

Try adding some black (a little at a time) to the purple to deepen it!

[@littlelady3895]

@@KarolynsKakes I was wondering if that would work. I normally get the regal but they didn't have any, and not in the position to buy a ton on line. That and it won't be in in time. Thank you @Karolynskakes

[@littlelady3895]

@Zay thanks. I am needing to get that cake started tomorrow. And all I can find is a Violet...
