Hi, iv'e bought a box of Dr.Oetker ready to roll icing from the supermarket, and I would like to know if its o.k to add food gel colouring to them, to make additional colours. It has a green, a white and a red in the box, but I need orange,yellow, purple, blue, possibly other colours as well. So is it ok ( safe) to just add some food colouring to them? Also, how long in advance can you make shapes? Is it best done the night before I need them, and just leave them in a container overnight or something? Thanks

Just noticed the food colour gel I have, is "Queen" brand, from the supermarket, if that makes any difference? The ready to roll icing is Dr. Oetker Thanks

I'm no expert but I successfully used the gel and the queen colours in a couple of cakes I did. Making any shapes or decorations would be ok made ahead, just carefully place them in an airtight container and they will harden up.

You can add either gel or drops successfully. Also you can make your shapes days ahead just keep them in a glad sandwich bag sealed.
