Betty, when I use jello powder in my bc icing, I just dump it in with my meringue powder. I've never had "gritty" icing. But, if you want, you could always heat up the liquid your using, add the powder, mix & dissolve, then add to your bc.

I'm with June. Just mix either Jello or Kool-Aid powder with any liquid in your recipe if you want it to dissolve, doesn't even have to be heated. Might take a minute or 2 to dissolve comletely, but no sweat.

June, you never had any 'turning blue' problems with your Jello in buttercream, did you?

Thanks June, Just wondering, what about the flavors of the Jello's most of them would be OK... BUT. Most of my frosting is vanilla , wont the jello flavor and Kool_Aid give a different taste??? And to use "Grape" to get purple, wont it taste like grape instead of vanilla???.:(

Yes Betty
They do add a certain amount of flavour. But I added 2 pkgs of lemon jello powder to get a very slight pale yellow colour bc icing. But I can honestly say, there was only a hint lemon flavour. I had to add lemon juice & extract to get the real lemony taste I was looking for. Now I haven't used the strong colours/flavours like grape. So not sure about them. Used only cherry, strawberry, lime & lemon.

Hey Girls!! Just got a terrific cure for the 'Blues'! lol
Pat did a really deep purple, simply gorgeous, rose that I fell in love with. When questioned, she was kind enough to give the 'secret'! lol This may just be 'the answer' we were looking for!
Pat Roberts: said "I got the deep colour for the rose by starting with lavender or purple gum paste, then adding Sugarflair Violet and Claret, just keep adding till you get the colour you want."
