These are just as adorable as the Circus cookies for the little boy!
So cute! I love the elephants! What brand of red color do you use? I’ve tried two so far and cannot get that perfect red you’ve got going!
Thanks Angela! And ugh red and I are not friends. I use Americolor gel paste. It’s much more concentrated than the Wilton red. But you still have to use a lot, especially for buttercream… I also recently started adding a tad of brown when I want a deep, dark red. I got the idea from Lilaloa, but also when I made red velvet cake (which has cocoa in it). Give that a try, it might help!
I have the Americolor Super Red, guess I’m just not using enough! I’ll definitely give adding brown a shot. Thanks!!
Yeah it seems like you get to a point where you add more and more and it doesn’t get any darker, but just keep adding.. also it seems to darker after a while so sometimes I let it sit for a few minutes then stir it up and see if it’s better.
Aww thank you Nicole, you are too sweet!
