How do you color white frosting orange?
Try 2 yellow and 1 red, that should work, if it still isnt bright enough, add more red until you get your desired color.
Reply:I would use a natural color agent like OJ or Pumpki pie filling simmered with a cup of milk and a cup of sugar. Both when mixed with frosting should give you an orange color. If you need it brighter try a scoop of tang or orange Koolaid.





I find it interesting that two people have given me thumbs down. I cook for a living. I have used all of these ideas and had excelent success. It is ok to be different you know.
Reply:Start with yellow, then slowly add red until you get the color you want.

Reply:Since you want a brighter orange put more yellow in then red. Try 4 drops of yellow and 2 or 3 drops of red.


Hope I helped! Have a great day!
