Hello Yellow Digella Ruffles

These beauties deserve a post of their own don't you think!

I had used up all my cake decorator yellow colouring and was forced to resort to Queens Yellow which I thought would be fine. Alas not. Look, it was fine in the grand scheme of things, but as I was going for a butter yellow and it turned into a bright yellow I was disappointed.

How did this happen? Did I add too much? Well no, I carefully added the colour and was happy with the result. Then iced the cakes and two hours later I came home and they had changed! They were a much brighter yellow.

So that is a lesson learnt. Take care with inferior yellow colouring!

These are now known as Digella Ruffle Cupcakes. I am loving them.

  2. Whatever colour you end up with they look fantastic and yes, they look like a carnation. Well done! ;-)

  3. The colour looks fine to me - but I understand - when you have a look specifically in mind and it doesn't pan out that way through no doing of your own, it's frustrating. I also have to say, the cakes themselves look gorgous.
