How to make PERFECT RED ICING | No overnight rest | Let's compare 3 brands

Ok, let's talk red icing. This is often referred to as the nemesis of decorators as it can be hard to achieve that perfect red colour. So to make your life easier, I decided to put 3 of the top brands of food colouring through some tests to see which one would give the truest red. And the results were somewhat surprising. Two gave a really nice shade of red with NO wait. Yes, that's correct - no overnight wait time to develop a great shade of red.

In this trial, I used 50g of buttercream icing but it's worth noting that the same method and ratios will work with royal icing. Just be sure NOT to use Colour Mill with royal icing as it will cause it to split.
