How do you color white frosting orange?

Question

Like how many drops of red food coloring to yellow food coloring? I want a bright orange, like a pumpkin. Thanks!

Answer 1

Try 2 yellow and 1 red, that should work, if it still isnt bright enough, add more red until you get your desired color.

Answer 2

Since you want a brighter orange put more yellow in then red. Try 4 drops of yellow and 2 or 3 drops of red.
Hope I helped! Have a great day!

Answer 4

try 3 drops of red and 4 drops yellow. mix seperatly from frosting till u get the color you want.

Answer 5

I would use a natural color agent like OJ or Pumpki pie filling simmered with a cup of milk and a cup of sugar. Both when mixed with frosting should give you an orange color. If you need it brighter try a scoop of tang or orange Koolaid.

I find it interesting that two people have given me thumbs down. I cook for a living. I have used all of these ideas and had excelent success. It is ok to be different you know.

Answer 6

Start with yellow, then slowly add red until you get the color you want.
