I was trying to find a video of recipes using the supercolor powders from suncore. My initial plan was to just skip through until that part, but you are so good at entertaining that I couldn't help but watch the entire video! All the love ❤

[@AsiaCoffee]

Wow, I’m super impressed with how thoroughly you evaluated the reds... 👏🏽 Thanks you for such a fantastic video!!!

[@My_sister_crochets]

I’m impressed with all the information you gathered and shared. Thank you for all your efforts. Great job!!

[@ginger3818]

This was fun to watch. Good job guys!

[@LisaCooksFood]

Beets = no, thank you. 😉

[@cutebluj89]

Thank you! I'm looking for a red for my red velvet cake and wanted to upgrade to Suncore. This video is just what I needed, thumbs up and I haven't even watched it yet. Saved me so much testing

[@audknits5651]

This was incredibly helpful. Thank you for the excellent experiment!

[@ap2179]

Wow this video is very detailed. Thank u for posting these experiments and also letting us see the color changes over TIME. Very appreciate you guys going food scientist for this vid! 👍🏽

[@neroshin]

I'm only halfway through the video so far, but i did see on a baking blog that this woman uses 1 to 2 tsp of cocoa powder per cup of buttercream as a jumpstart to help deepen the colors, and to offset the bitterness from red food dye without turning it into chocolate buttercream!

[@LisaCooksFood]

I often do this with royal icing, too, but I find it does taste like chocolate.

[@CSI426]

@neroshin - thanks for sharing adding cocoa powder, it makes sense. I'll try it.

[@jbravo808]

Great info and what a lovely family! Thank you!

[@NickJones-sj4vr]

I hope I'm not the only one that really actually love this Family it was very fun to watch...

[@LisaCooksFood]

My mom says she loves us, so I guess you’re in good company. 😁

[@Schubelicious]

[@LisaCooksFood]

I’m so glad! Hope your day is colorful! 🙂

[@credibleincooking8064]

Love your channel! Super great. So helpful.

[@LisaCooksFood]

Yay, glad you like it!

[@purplecheesecake9102]

This is a fantastically helpful video for someone just getting into the more decorative side of baking. I do wish you had tasted all the buttercreams and not just the most colored ones, so you could tell us at what concentration they started getting bitter.

[@Grayson.P]

Good to know, I've seen adds for suncore and was close to buying some a few times. I assumed there would be some taste-transfer but knowing how they react as well helps a lot.

[@noonz496]

Thaank you sooo much this is So helpful

[@knt3210]

Thanks! Very informative!

[@prileylinggi2383]

This was of great help thanks

[@coconut1586]

This help a lot thankyou

[@LisaCooksFood]

I’m so glad!! Stay tuned for an upcoming video where we explore black icing WITHOUT any food coloring at all!

[@CB-ul2np]

A few reviews on Amazon indicate that from their experience, the beet colorings beet taste, dissipates in the finished baked product after 24 hours. Guess I'll find out as I'm baking a red velvet cake today to eat tomorrow.

[@LisaCooksFood]

Ooo! That’s good to know!

[@alexanderbordner6597]

Some might have called the beet buttercream, beetercream

[@dougtalks]

Now I'm a little disappointed in myself for not calling it that. Maybe next time...of course there won't be a next time because beetercream should be avoided at all costs.

[@LisaCooksFood]

You’re my kind of people.

[@allyssewojtanek-watson1409]

Why is the guy a part of this? I don’t think his commentary added anything.

[@dora_the_explorer8395]

Why tf not
