HELP!!!! All the recipes call for 2 ounces of red food coloring, can I just use gel or paste till I get the right color????How do I use paste food coloring instead of liquid in red velvet cake?
Yes. You can just adjust the color with your red paste. You may need to add a tablespoon or so of water to make up for what would have been in the food color.





This site has a nice discussion following the illustrated recipe: http://pinchmysalt.com/2008/11/10/red-ve鈥?/a>
