Reply to "Clear Stamps"

Hi, Dorte. Thanks for the kind words. First, not all clear food stamps take to food coloring (some repel it; you can actually see the coloring bead up on the stamp). Your better bet is to use natural rubber stamps that are more pink-brown in color; I've never had one of that type not work. Some clear stamps will work, as I explain in the video, but it's best to try them on plain paper first with food coloring. If they don't stamp with food coloring on paper, they won't stamp on royal icing. I use Chefmaster liqua-gel food coloring for stamping, but have also successfully stamped with other brands of soft-gel and gel/paste food colorings. Don't know the brand you mentioned - which are you using again? My guess, though, is that your particular clear stamps will just not take to any food coloring.
