Squires kitchen sell heat stable colours. Only use natural colours with icing not baking.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12311633571832499427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762471897826601442.post-27469147217098744922012-12-31T10:34:36.328-08:002012-12-31T10:34:36.328-08:00Well, it may not have turned out very red, but it ...Well, it may not have turned out very red, but it certainly looks delicious!

Liquid does not work at all and you need a really strong red.<br />Colour aside the cake looks divine and I could easily eat a slice now. xSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335397945324890356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762471897826601442.post-22976076320274228872012-12-11T13:45:55.393-08:002012-12-11T13:45:55.393-08:00I know we chatted about this on Twitter, but for m...I know we chatted about this on Twitter, but for me a cake has to taste GOOD and its looks are secondary, and this looks like a LUSH cake Sophie! I think it looks dark and suitably mysterious! GREAT TTT entry thanks!

But I've no doubt your cake was a huge success at the Cake Club and thank you very much for entering it into TTT!Kate@whatkatebakedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03377869776999540690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762471897826601442.post-54918265065618088042012-12-07T11:20:59.584-08:002012-12-07T11:20:59.584-08:00Your cake looks gorgeous.

I used Dr Oetker red food gel recently wanting a vivid red on my cupcakes but after an entire tube in a tiny amount of icing the best I got was very dark pink so I resorted to photo cheating! So I don't blame you I blame Dr Oetker - they never did respond to my tweet complaining about their duff colouring! I've since bought some liquid colour and I'm sure that will be a lot better.Camillahttp://www.fabfood4all.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
