Each time that I have made Black Frosting I did it freehand, so to speak. I never had a recipe to follow. Now days Du can buy black Essen coloring, but I find it Mehr fun to mix the color myself. I start with a container of white frosting in either vanilla oder cream cheese flavor. If Du have a box of primary colors(red, blue, green, yellow) Essen coloring it will tell Du how to mix purple. This is a good starting point. Once Du have the basic purple Du can add small amounts of green. Always check the flavor of the frosting while mixing because sometimes too much Essen coloring can make it...
