all natural DIY food colouring (coloring) tested in buttercream frosting - vegan - how to make

No nasty chemicals, no E-numbers, no animal products, no allergens, no hard work, just mix them up & go :) These colours are made from powdered dried berries, plants & leaves and are easily found in health food shops or online. I used the powders for ease, but if you want you can use the juice of the fresh berries & roots instead - they'll probably work even better.

I used spirulina, matcha, turmeric, acai, beetroot and blueberry powders.

Thanks to Rach for suggesting beetroot 👍 if anyone else has more suggestions feel free to leave them below 🌼🌼 You can use the powders dry for soft, pastel shades; mixed into a little hot water for darker colours & slightly different hues; and leave them to develop for an even stronger colour result.

The quantities I've used here are just a guide. You can add a much as you like to get the right colour - just beware that turmeric has its own flavour which may become overpowering if you add too much. You can also add a lil melted chocolate to make browns and muted hues, as I did to make the wood colour of the artist palette cake shown at the end 🎨 look out for that video coming soon.

The only one I wouldn't recommend using was acai. It was completely useless! Everything else worked out great, I will definitely be using these in more of my cakes to come 😊

Enjoy 🌼
