To color Swiss Buttercream with gel food coloring, start with room temperature buttercream and mix well with about 1/4 cup of gel food coloring. Gel or gel paste food coloring is thicker than Liqua-Gel and can be used with various ingredients such as icing, fondant, gum paste, batter, and cake frosting. Gel food coloring is recommended over traditional food coloring, with two primary options being the Wilton Color Right Color System and AmeriColor.
Liquid food coloring is suitable for small amounts but can affect the consistency of buttercream if used excessively. Paste and gel are similar, but they add water and change consistency. Gel or powdered food colorings don’t alter the liquid ratios of a recipe, making them useful in meringues and frosting.
For bright, intense, or dark-colored buttercream, gel food coloring is recommended. Gel food coloring and icing color are the same, but regular (liquid) food coloring and icing color are distinct. Starting with a white base allows colors to stand out more, while pastel shades can be achieved using gel-based colors.
