I’m not great with SMBC, but I’m sure you will get some good advice from members here. It is definitely a bit tricky to make. I’ve never added colour, so not sure what happened to you there. My family doesn’t like SMBC, says it’s too sweet. So I make the poor mans SMBC, flour icing. Tastes the same, good mouth feel, not too sweet, spreads & pipes beautifully.
