How to Make Red Frosting for Cakes, Cupcakes, & Cookies
Learn how to make vibrant & bold red frosting for cakes, cupcakes, and cookies. Red frosting can be difficult to make since red is a primary color and you cannot add a color to make a more vibrant shade of red. There are numerous ways to make red frosting, like adding beetroot powder or adding a very small amount of black food gel food coloring, but my favorite ways to make red frosting is making the red frosting in advance and letting it sit for around 1-2 days and microwaving the frosting and refrigerating the frosting to bring back to a good consistency. I highly recommend using gel food coloring compared to liquid food coloring, especially if you are microwaving the frosting, since gel food coloring is more concentrated than liquid food coloring and microwaving liquid food coloring may cause the color to separate. Americolor gel food coloring is my favorite gel food coloring since you do not need to use many drops of gel food coloring to make vibrant bold colors and it does not make the frosting taste bitter. Red frosting is great for decorating baked goods for the holiday season and perfect for Valentine's Day desserts.
Directions
Add 4 drops of red gel food coloring to 1 cup of white frosting and mix together. You can then let the frosting sit for around 1-2 days at room temperature or microwave the frosting in 10 second intervals until the frosting is mostly melted. Refrigerate the frosting for a few hours until the frosting reaches a good consistency.
