Mmmmm…some hate it, some love it, but trying to colour fondant purple never works out for me. Mainly because the colour always fades to blue in a matter of hours :-( Sigh…..
I have learned my lesson in 2013 when i made purple flowers for my wedding cake and ended up with blue! (early days of my cake decorating adventure) I now airbrush them with Americolor. Never had a problem since.
Incidentally, I have read somewhere that if you add pink to purple fondant, it is less likely to turn blue….? (have not tested this theory)……………(Addit) ok I now know where I read it at, thank you Violet from The Violet Cake Shop! Violet says it needs to be deep pink or Wilton Rose otherwise it won’t work xo
