Transform your desserts with vibrant, perfectly colored icing that will wow your guests. Whether you’re decorating cakes, cookies, or cupcakes, achieving the right shade can make all the difference. Start by experimenting with small amounts of color to find the perfect tone, adding tiny increments of secondary colors to build your desired shade. Be sure to mix enough icing from the start, as matching colors later can be tricky.

Icing colors are highly concentrated, giving you bold, rich hues without affecting the consistency of your frosting. For precise coloring, use a toothpick to control the amount of color you add, and build gradually until you achieve your ideal look. Ready to take your decorating skills to the next level?
