TruColor Natural Liquid Baking ColorA good rule as with most things is to always try a little natural color in what you are trying to color before committing to a large batch. Add your batter, dough or icing into the liquid or hydrated powder colors a little at a time. Do not add a plant-based color to a large amount of batter, dough or icing as you may achieve only pastel shades. Adding your medium a little at a time into the color, you can control the color to the shade you desire. Remember these are not highly processed petroleum-based food colors but are TruColor made from plants, fruits, vegetables, roots and seeds, and often the color you see in the batter may change a bit when baking.Liquid baking color: As with most new things, with natural colors you often have to simply try the colors in a small amount in your individual application to find what works best. Another tip is to think out of the box when it comes to natural colors: Try painting with an airbrush gun or a paint brush on the dry food surface after you bake. Using this technique you avoid using large amounts of color inside the dough by simply coating the surface with brilliant hues and shades. When applying natural plant color on the dry surface you rarely have to concern yourself about pH, heat stability or other variables.
