Product Information

The cream you need is known by different names in different countries. Here in NZ it’s just regular cream or whipping cream. In other countries, it may be known as heavy whipping cream, single cream or full cream. Basically, you need a pourable, unwhipped cream that is around 35% fat. here's a good explanation from Colour Mill's blog . . . since 'The Age of Buttercream' we're finding that colourings are becoming less effective in our baking. Let's take Swiss Meringue Buttercream for example... 40% of your SMBC recipe is butter (oil) and you're adding gel colouring (water) to dye it? We all know that water and oil can't mix, so your traditional gel colour will only be able to dye the sugar in your buttercream but not the butter itself. That means you're adding gel/paste that can only dye 60% of the product, which is why the results are often not great When I’m covering the whole top of the cake in the drip ganache, I like to do that first, then do the drips. Don’t add too much on top, just enough to cover the top of the cake in a thin layer – use an offset spatula to spread it just to the edges. Then use the squeeze bottle or a spoon to add your drips. free from all listed allergens but please note stored and handled in an environment where nuts and nut oils are present so we cannot guarantee 100% free of nut traces

Here are a few more related subjects, for various ganache colouring needs: How to Make White Chocolate Ganache Whiter On the flip side, if you’re aiming for yellow, then hello, you have a head start! Other colours that contain yellow like orange and green (depending on the shade) will also be easier. I use a ratio of 3 parts white chocolate to 1 part cream for my drips (3:1 ratio). The amount of ganache you’ll need to make for your drip will depend on the size of your cake and how much of a drip you want to do, but a good place to start is with 120g of chocolate or candy melts and 40g of cream. Adding corn syrup will give the ganache a little more shine when it sets, but it is completely optional. Water-based gel or paste food colourings are colourings most often used in cake decorating for colouring buttercream and fondant. They are highly concentrated colourings in a gel or paste base, so you generally need only very small amounts to get an intense colour. They’re the colourings I use most often for ganache, as I usually have a good selection of colours on hand.

Buy together!

Then change the number of layers to 0. This amount will be how much ganache you need to cover the cake, and this is the amount you will need to colour. Please note: the Ganacherator will give you the amount of chocolate and cream that you will need to make your ganache, but it only gives a 3:1 ratio for white chocolate. In warm climates and during summer, you may need to increase the ratio of chocolate to 4:1 or higher to make sure the ganache sets firmly. For more info on ratios, see my ganache tutorial. White Colour Mill is probably one of the only colourings that acts as a true icing whitener suitable for buttercream

Merlot schmerlo, forget the wine and get your hands our deepest shade of red. A must-have shade that will warm you up when the weather starts to co... Oil-based colourings, also known as chocolate colouring or candy colouring, are a great choice for colouring ganache. They are, of course, colourings in an oil base, and I find that these colourings blend nice and easily into the ganache, and it tends to be easier to get more vibrant colours. Water and oil can’t mix together, so if half your buttercream is butter (fat) your gel colour (water) will only be able to dye the sugar, essentially only colouring half your buttercream - which means you have to use twice as much colour. Ok, so that’s all I have in my brain right now that you may want to know about how to colour ganache!If I’m using ganache to both fill the cake and cover it with coloured ganache, I usually make one batch of ganache, then split it off into filling and covering amounts, and just colour the covering amount. You can use any of the colouring options I talked about above to colour your ganache drip. For this pink ganache drip, I used Colour Mill white and candy pink oil-based colouring.
