Hi Cookers, we are trying to make a spiderman cake, we can't get the
blue icing dark enough. we are using food colouring. Any suggestions.

From what I know about colors, black is the combination of all colors. So
the more colors you mix, the darker you'll get it.

Blueberry juice is darker than food coloring. :-)
Mix them together as berry juice tends to be more purple.

Hope this helps?

If you're using liquid food coloring, it will be difficult. Powder or
paste food coloring will easily do it.

I'm sure you can find it at a cake/candy decorating store if you
have one.

Go to a shop that sells cake decorating supplies and
buy paste coloring rather than the liquid kind. I
makes a huge difference to achieve dark color.

Try getting paste food colourings from a bakery supply or cake
decorating shop. The colours are more intense than with supermarket
liquid food colouring. Also the range of colours is greater.

Go to a cake decorating supply store and ask for royal blue paste coloring.
There's a liquid paste and a gel type paste. The gel type is more intense and
is used if you're trying to color a large amount (several pounds) of icing.
The liquid paste is used if you only want to color a small amount of icing.
