It makes for something bright & cheery.
Whether, it's in your house or whilst baking... color is a great thing!
It's true! You eat with your eyes , first.
I know taste is also important, of course.
So, add in little pops of color!
This color is super concentrated so you only need a few drops.
You can use it to dye your batter for cakes like a Battenberg.
You may also use it for frostings and buttercreams.
However, be careful with how much you use when dying marzipan, fondant, modeling chocolate, and gum paste.
It is a gel based color and it changes the consistency if you use too much.
AmeriColor has a variety of colors and they also made color for airbrushing!
I know it may not be traditional to dye your cakes, cookies, and cupcakes but it makes it fun! So, get creative and experiment with all your favorite colors!
I had a surprise baby shower to attend last week for a co-worker of mine and experimented with my vanilla almond cupcakes!
It's a girl!
She is planning on naming the baby Audrey and I am in the midst of crocheting her baby a scarf and hat for this coming winter although it is still months away.
Pink swirled cupcakes made for a pleasant surprise to my co-workers and they were pretty!
Last weekend I had some friends come into town and decided to bake some cupcakes last minute! They were vanilla butter cupcakes with some little pops of color and sprinkles!
I loved the way the purple turned out, it was so bright!
That, plus the frosting and sprinkles: it was so fun and vibrant.
+Everything tasted delicious!
Until next time...
Experiment & be creative!
