Preparation
Step 1
Combine all the ingredients in mixer. (only add half of the water to start) Beat on high for 5 minutes with paddle attachment.
After beating, let it sit for a minute or two to set up. To ensure color matching, I make it to "piping consistency" first, dye it, and transfer about 1/3 of each color into the piping bag.
Then add a small amount of water and mix by hand to get the "flood consistency of each color. Transfer it to a squeezy bottle with cap.
*Note*
The PIPING should be approximately the consistency of toothpaste after setting up a couple minutes. to test, you can put a bit in a tip and push with your finger to see if it will hold it's shape or if it's too thick.
The FLOOD should flow easily and be approximately the consistency of heavy cream. You want it to flow out towards the piping, but not be transparent. it will be runny at first, but after a couple minutes will thicken up.
