icing a cake in blue
19 Answers
I am baking and decorating a cake, something have done before.
I will ice in a pre-made block of roll out icing. But i need the icing to be blue?? am I better adding drip by drip of food colouring to the icing and kneed in before I roll or paint on the blue colouring after? It is supposed to be a large whale so I think the patchy effect sometimes created when painted on might look ok, it sometimes looks water marked as some colour sticks to some places more than others.
Any views please?

the pens are cool...but i am going for a basic cartoon verson on a whale.
I saw a cake the other day that looked really shiney like after the coloured icing was added it was painted? Painted with just a wet brush to make smooth? or something else, I thought it might help with the water coming out the blow hole and the sea around the whale to look shiney?

Sorry .. 'gel tubes' ... I have seen these sold in Tesco ... much thicker consistency than food colouring! http://www.cakedecora...k/ready-to-use-icing/
