Ok, so that’s all I have in my brain right now that you may want to know about how to colour ganache!

this is why Colour Mill is so good . . . the formula is completely oil based, which allows the colouring to disperse properly through the sugar, eggs and butter to dye every part of the buttercream to allow deep, dark and vibrant colours Unlike standard gel colours, Colour Mill is an oil-based dye, allowing you to better colour buttercream, Swiss Meringue and even chocolate! The secret is in how the colour binds to butter, fat, and oil. Chocolate drip birthday cakes are still insanely popular, and a coloured ganache drip is a fun way to add a bit more pop to a cake design.The colour you’re trying to achieve will dictate how much whitener you’ll need to add. For example, if you’re trying to make pink ganache, you’ll need to cancel out quite a bit of the yellow from the chocolate, otherwise, you will end up with a more orange or peachy tone. The same goes for blue, if you leave too much yellow, you will end up with green. Make every hour golden hour with this burnt blend of red & orange. The ultimate trans-seasonal pigment depicting shades from summer sunsets to ... In my opinion, couverture choc tastes better, but compound choc makes a more stable ganache (less likely to split or separate). I often use a combination of both types of chocolate. I cover this a bit more in the ganache FAQ post. Colours will develop and deepen over time, so if possible colour your buttercream and allow it to sit overnight for super vibrant results.

Less colouring also means the taste of your baking won’t be as altered as it would be with standard gel colours. As versatile as it is vibrant, our Purple pigment is an instant crowd-pleaser. From rich & regal to soft & sweet, it's a must-have colour f... You can use any of the colouring options I talked about above to colour your ganache drip. For this pink ganache drip, I used Colour Mill white and candy pink oil-based colouring.
I also often add a small squeeze of corn syrup to the ganache drip, as it adds some nice extra shine. It’s totally optional though. She's fun, she's flirty, she's fuchsia. Say hello to the colour that goes with pretty much everything and suits every occasion. From a sophisticate... Then change the number of layers to 0. This amount will be how much ganache you need to cover the cake, and this is the amount you will need to colour. Also, take into account the temperature of your cake. If you chill your cakes, then your drip will set faster because your cake is cold. If your cake is at room temperature and the room is warm, it will take a while for your ganache to set, so your drip will drip further.

If you need to, you can mix the types of colouring you use. I sometimes use both oils and gels in the same batch if I’m trying to get a specific colour. The chocolate can be compound chocolate or couverture chocolate (or as I like to call it “real chocolate”). Couverture choc is made with cocoa butter, compound choc is made with various types of vegetable oil. Because I don’t like to do things by halves, I’ve decided to cover a lot of different ganache colouring info in this post. So I’m adding a table of contents below in case there is one particular question you need answered and want to jump down to that.here's a good explanation from Colour Mill's blog . . . since 'The Age of Buttercream' we're finding that colourings are becoming less effective in our baking. Let's take Swiss Meringue Buttercream for example... 40% of your SMBC recipe is butter (oil) and you're adding gel colouring (water) to dye it? We all know that water and oil can't mix, so your traditional gel colour will only be able to dye the sugar in your buttercream but not the butter itself. That means you're adding gel/paste that can only dye 60% of the product, which is why the results are often not great
