Color Me Delicious

I should say that I haven’t actually tried these yet, but when I do, I’m hoping to recreate the above cake with the same bold color but with peace of mind that I’m not eating nothing but carcinogens.

Last week I was at the gym with my friend Lyssie and she was raving about the natural food coloring that she received at an event.  I was intrigued and really excited when she offered to let me try some.

Rather than liquid, these pigments are powdered and made from all natural ingredients like purple carrots, blueberries and tomatoes. The packaging reminds me of the pigment stores down in the garment district in New York, where one can find whatever pigment the heart desires, only those pigments are inedible.

Anyway, this week is really busy, but I’m hoping to give these natural food colorings a spin. I’ll keep you posted. Have you tried them? What did you think?
