Application of Food pigment in Baking

The widespread use of pigment is believed to be obvious to all, because it can make some foods more colorful and look more refined. What are the ways to add food pigment to cake batter. 

Adding edible artificial colors to the cake batter can make the cake the color you want. However, the amount of food pigment added has a great influence on the color of the cake. Therefore, how to add edible pigment to make the desired cake color is also facing a variety of challenges. 

How much food pigment do you need to prepare? In baking, it usually takes only a little bit of food pigment to make a colorful color, and the amount depends on the color you want. The darker the color, the more artificial colors will be used; the lighter the color, the less artificial colors will be used. In general, high-quality gel and paste food colors are used less than liquid food colors to create the desired color. You can also mix liquid food pigment with gelatinous food pigment and add it to the batter. 

The use of food pigments is an inaccurate scientific experiment, and if you feel that the amount of food pigment you add is not the color you want, you need to add more food pigment. When adding food pigment, it is best to make a soft color. The color is too bright, the influence on the cake is usually greater. No matter how much food pigment is added, the color of the cake will not be so bright after baking. So, when you add food pigment to the mixing basin, if the color is not bright enough, you can add more. 

What if you add too much food pigment? Many people worry that the addition of food pigment will change the texture and texture of the batter. In fact, neither gelatinous food pigment nor liquid food pigment will change the texture and texture of cake batter after addition, nor will it have any effect on normal baking. In general, the amount of food pigment is very small, so it does not affect the texture and texture of the batter.
