Brown Food Colouring for icing???

[Liz]

I make a butter icing with coffee & cocoa in it, and it's not THAT brown. Depends on how brown you want it. I'd be inclined to melt real chocolate in it too.. make it real chocolatey.. coz cocoa isn't that nice on it's own imo

I always use choc melted in icing like Raven said but all three primary colours mix together make brown... but coco would also do it....

You can buy real brown colouring. Wiltons do one - if you google them you will find a stockist near you or you can get it online. Most of what you've suggested wont give you a true brown colour. It all depends though on how brown you need it to be for it to look effective kwim?

Thanks ladies. I ended up using melted chocolate in the icing and it turned out really well. Wasn't very dark (only used milk choc), but looked good, and tasted good too
