Hey! Do you use swiss meringue buttercream? & what brand of gold edible paint do you use? Thanks!

[@SugarandSparrow]

I use American buttercream but the technique will totally work with swiss meringue! Here's the link to the gold Edible Art Paint I used: amzn.to/2WrhszY

Hey Whitney, Do you think I could achieve this look with white chocolate ganache?

[@SugarandSparrow]

I'm sure you could as long as you can achieve those colors with ganache frosting!

[@awrangamendis587]

Hey Whitney! Is it okay if I use swiss meringue buttercream to create swatches?

[@SugarandSparrow]

Hi Awranga! You can totally use swiss meringue buttercream with this tutorial. Enjoy!

[@nuzhahelaheebaccus-edoo3634]

Can you do it with whipped cream instead?

[@SugarandSparrow]

Hi there! As long as you can achieve the colors you want with whipped cream frosting this technique will totally work!

[@Iammillionare.]

[@sarajohanna1022]

Can i use this technique using whipping cream?

[@SugarandSparrow]

Hi there! I've never tried this technique with whipping cream, but as long as it's a stabilized whipping cream that you normally use for frosting a cake and it can be colored, I think this technique will work just fine!

[@etasmania12]

Hello!! How can I get these colors please?

[@SugarandSparrow]

Hi there! All of the Americolor food colors I used are listed in the video description with links. I mixed those in with my vanilla buttercream recipe to create those colors! Here is the buttercream recipe in case you need it: sugarandsparrow.com/vanilla-buttercream-recipe/
