Can food colouring be used to colour butter icing?
I have always used Jell-O Icing when I needed a specific color. Liquid food coloring doe not do it and the gel and powder food coloring is harder to find in my area. Jell-O Icing 1/2 pound butter 2 cups powdered sugar (10X) 1 3-oz package Jell-O, color to complement cake 1/2 cup boiling water Cream butter and sugar. Dissolve Jell-O in boiling water; cool to room temperature. Slowly mix cooled jell-O into butter/sugar moisture, until desired color is obtained. Entire package may not be required. Spread on poke cake.
