I did the lemon icing with green food colouring. So yummy.   I'm pretty stoked with how it came out. Not perfect, but pretty good for my first ever 'fancy' cake. I just finished it about half an hour ago, here's a photo

A bit late but my suggestion for adding colour to icing - dip a wooden skewer into the food colouring and then mark the icing. Mix it up and then add more as you need it.

It's the best way to make sure that you don't add too much colour at once.

Can't wait to see pictures.

Well I had a wee play and it worked great! Sooo yummy and looked cool. I'm doing a banana cake with green lemon icing and coloured m&ms around the outside... shaped like a 1... will post pictures when it's done....

I'm making the cake on Thurs night and icing it Fri, so there's plenty of time for it to cool down inbetween and then lots of time for me to fix stuff if there's any problems lol. Party on Saturday, woop woop!]]> Wed, 07 Jan 2009 15:20:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23452&PID=580691&title=colouring-lemon-icing-banana-cake#580691 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23452&PID=579662&title=colouring-lemon-icing-banana-cake#579662 Author: .Mel

You could make the icing with just icing sugar and warm water and put the food colouring in?

Or

Make Vanilla icing and put food colouring into that. ]]> Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:21:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23452&PID=579662&title=colouring-lemon-icing-banana-cake#579662 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23452&PID=579568&title=colouring-lemon-icing-banana-cake#579568 Author: minik8e

Because the lemon icing is made with actual lemon juice, it's not really all that yellow - usually slightly cream though that's more to do with the butter than anything!! So you should be able to get blue and green easily. Good luck!]]> Tue, 06 Jan 2009 16:05:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23452&PID=579568&title=colouring-lemon-icing-banana-cake#579568 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23452&PID=578082&title=colouring-lemon-icing-banana-cake#578082 Author: lilfatty

Thanks heaps (SD? Or LF?). I think you're right that green would be easiest to do... I'll have a play!

I could do a green cake, and put it on a board that's covered with blue paper or fabric, with a blue candle. That would look cool....]]> Sun, 04 Jan 2009 19:21:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23452&PID=578020&title=colouring-lemon-icing-banana-cake#578020 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23452&PID=578017&title=colouring-lemon-icing-banana-cake#578017 Author: SuperDaddy

You should be able to do a shade of green (since the icing would be yellow?) .. well I would imagine lemon icing would be yellow, so then you would add a drop of blue food colouring (it wouldnt alter the taste)

We are doing the same icing but without the lemon as we are doing an iggle piggle cake which requires at least two shades of blue (and some red), but those are both primary colours so should be relatively easy).

I would just have a play ]]> Sun, 04 Jan 2009 19:16:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23452&PID=578017&title=colouring-lemon-icing-banana-cake#578017 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23452&PID=578010&title=colouring-lemon-icing-banana-cake#578010 Author: arohanui

It's Harry's birthday party on Saturday and I'm thinking of making a banana cake (in the shape of a 1). I found this yummy sounding recipe that Mel posted a while ago here and thought the lemon icing sounds delish.

I was originally going to do chocolate icing with blue and green m&m's around the edge. But then I had a thought, would I be able to mix food colouring with the lemon icing? Or would it go weird?

We're kinda having a theme of blue and green (just for the invites, balloons etc) so I thought it would be cool if maybe I could do the sides in blue and the top in green (for example).

But I have no experience in icing cakes fancy and have no idea if this would work.

Cake gurus? What do you recommend? Help!]]> Sun, 04 Jan 2009 19:07:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23452&PID=578010&title=colouring-lemon-icing-banana-cake#578010
