Color Flow Frosting
4 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons color flow powder
1/4 cup water
plus 1-2 teaspoons water as needed
1-2 drops of flavoring oil
Paste colors as desired
Put sifted powdered sugar in a glass bowl (must be grease free bowl).
Add color flow and stir to blend. Add water and stir to mix and form a
smooth runny-type frosting. Add flavoring and stir to blend. The stiffer
frosting may be used to do any outlining on cookies or patterns first,
using a #2 tip. Color frosting as desired.
Next step: add 1 teaspoon of water at a
time to make a more liquid frosting. The frosting is ready for the flow
or fill-in step when a drop has blended back into the rest of the
frosting at the count of ten. Frosting may be divided and colored as
desired. Keep all frosting that is not in use covered with a damp towel
as it will start the drying process.
Put frosting in a parchment paper
decorating cone without a decorating tip. Fold up end so the frosting
does not start to run out. When all bags are filled and ready, cut a
medium hole and begin the process of filling in an outlined area with
the color flow frosting using a zig-zag motion.
It will blend together and make a very
smooth surface. One can add more colors while it is still soft to create
different designs. It will take a few hours for the surface to
completely dry (overnight). Use luster dusts to paint on the completely
dry surface. Use a dry brush to paint on the surface.
One can also mix the luster dust with a
flavor oil to make a paste which can then be painted on the smooth
surface. Royal frosting can be used to add more designs or writing on
the smooth surface. Have fun. |
