I know that the major sugar holidays are over: Halloween, Christmas, Valentines- but wait! St. Patrick’s Day and Easter are coming up! It might be interesting to try out these "natural" decorating colors for your sweets this spring. It seems very cool- you get a  pack of 3 vegetable colorants that you mix to make your own colors. See photo on left for the yummiest color palette. It sure looks like Easter candy to me!

Ingredients: Blue: glycerin, deionized water, red cabbage. Red:
beet juice, citric acid. Yellow: glycerin, deionized water, turmeric,
sodium hydroxide.

You can buy the decorating colors at the Natural Candy Store. They also have other products to decorate naturally: snowflakes, sprinkles, balls and flakes.  But the real reason I found the company was that I was looking for natural gummy bears and swedish fish- my two greatest indulgences. They have the gummy bears, now I just need to put a plea in for them to start making the swedish fish!
