I keep seeing all these pictures of beautiful swirls you all get, so I keep trying and can't quite figure it out. Here's my latest attempt. The red is overpowering. I should have used more yellow and base. I think my batter was probably too thin. Maybe would have looked better if it was a bit thicker. I liked the look of the top and bottom, but when I cut it, not quite what I was expecting. A couple of them kind of look like flames, so I guess that's kind of cool. And as you can see, it was a bit soft when I cut. I waited over 24 hours and it still seemed a bit soft compared to batches I've made in the past. I used citric acid in this batch. Does that keep it softer longer?
