[@asmagrioua4743]

Thank you for your helpful videos just a question please in your opinion which is the greatest method I mean from all sides ( cheapest,cleanest and most beautiful result ) ❤️❤️

[@FiveTwoBaker]

My apologies for responding so late! My girls and I have been sick, and so I've been very absent here. 😷 But to answer your question - In my opinion painting with gel food colors on fondant is the most cost effective, forgiving, and beautiful. Second up would be painting on ganache with gel food colors. I actually have a few videos I'd like to do on that method in the future if you're interested. I hope this helps! 💕

[@loooooly2]

Really helpfull video . 😍👍 thanks alot . I have a question about the color dust . Can i use chocolate powder color ?! Will that work or do i have to buy powder food color ?!

[@FiveTwoBaker]

Thank you! I’m so glad! ❤️ I’m not exactly sure what powdered color chocolate is. Do you have the name of the company that makes it? Maybe I know it as something else?

[@loooooly2]

@@FiveTwoBaker its local company called CAKE SALON . The colors are been used to color chocolate and cocoa butter to make chocolate bonbons .

[@FiveTwoBaker]

So they sound like they work the same as color dusts since you’re using them for coloring chocolate and cocoa butter. Most of my dusts I can use to dust flowers, color icings, and chocolate, so my assumption is you should be fine. But not having used that specific brand, I can’t say with 100% certainty.

[@mohamedrifde4380]

Hi can i know whether i can use gel colours with cocoa butter to ppaint on buttercream,ganche and fondant??? By the way your tutorials are so useful..love your work so much..love from srilanka.❤❤❤❤

[@FiveTwoBaker]

Thank you so much! I haven't used gel colors with cocoa butter before, but my gut says they'd be difficult to mix. Cocoa butter, being oil, tends to repel water based products. So if you'd like to use liquid type colors with a cocoa butter I'd go with an oil based food color. Then you get the texture of cocoa butter with the color of the oil food colors. I hope this helps!

[@krazykara1327]

Can I use color mill products with cocoa butter to mix together and paint over the ganache?

[@FiveTwoBaker]

The color mill I'm thinking about is an oil based paint that doesn't need cocoa butter- it should work wonderfully on ganache. Is there another product you're referring to?

[@hurricane768]

Hi! Can we use gel color do dye the cocoa butter?

[@FiveTwoBaker]

That's a great question. Technically you can, but it's hard to mix bc water and oil don't like to mix.

[@maryamkhadijah8228]

Hi i hava a question, im just wondering if i need to buy a fat soluble colour powder to combine with cocoa butter?

[@FiveTwoBaker]

That's a great question! I feel like the answer is yes, but being 100% honest, I'm not sure I have any that are not, so I can't say for certain. If I come across any I'll test them and definitely post. 💖

[@junkmail420]

Hi can you tell me what brand the color dust you are using is?

[@FiveTwoBaker]

Of course! These are Roxy & Rich brand dusts. There are also some wiltons mixed in, but mostly the R&R. ❤️

[@junkmail420]

@@FiveTwoBaker thank you so much!

[@tinalawler4973]

Will the painting melt if warm?

[@FiveTwoBaker]

I haven’t had that happen. But I imagine that if it’s warm enough to melt… your cake collapsing is the greater concern 😅. Let’s hope for none of that! 💖

[@raya566]

Would americolor gel and coconut oil work? Just thought😊

[@FiveTwoBaker]

Definitely does. The only problem with oil is that it takes ages to dry, so you run the risk of smearing it.

[@raya566]

@@FiveTwoBaker thank you.. would glaze based colouring work?

[@FiveTwoBaker]

Sorry. I don't know the answer to that. I've never used glaze based coloring. I'll have to look into that to learn more. Do you have a brand you use? I'd love to try it.

[@raya566]

@@FiveTwoBaker try sweet sticks. Also try whether hair dryer is suitable to dry the paint which affect the stability of the fondant consistency. Thanks

[@pratimasharma3865]

Hello dear,we can use normal butter

[@FiveTwoBaker]

Great question. But no! cocoa butter is very different from regular butter. Definitely try to find cocoa butter if possible. If not I have another demo video where I use alcohol instead of cocoa butter. 💖

What brushes you are using 1:33

[@FiveTwoBaker]

They’re watercolor brushes. I’ve linked them in the description if you’re interested 💕

[@krazykara1327]

If you make a mistake while painting, how to take it off? Thank you!

[@FiveTwoBaker]

If you watch my video with "Snow White" you'll see how I handle mistakes on fondant- carefully wipe off with brush. For cocoa butter, if you can't wipe it off bc its dried, you can always paint over. Buttercream you probably just need to wipe off because it'll be absorbed in. Hope that helps!
