Cabbage Blue Powder Color for Creams/Icing
Regular price $5.95
Unit price per
This powder is made from cabbage and will change tone from teal blue to dark blue to purple dependent on the acidity of what you are coloring. Products higher in acid (icings with lemon juice, etc) will become purple. To get the tone that you want, you can add a little baking soda to make it more teal blue or add a bit of lemon juice to make it more purple. For a light and more stable blue choose the spirulina instead.
There are about 6 teaspoons per .5 oz container. We estimate a half ounce container will color enough icing for one or two typical 8" double tier cakes.
Use about 1/2 tsp to replace 1 Tbsp of liquid color. Dissolve in neutral liquid ingredients like water or egg white and then add to creams or batters.

Use and Storage
USE: Powder colors are great for long shelf life, varied use and flexibility. Use about 1/2 tsp to replace 1 Tbsp of liquid color. Dissolve in neutral liquid ingredients like water or egg white and add to creams or batters. Terrific for meringue or macaroons, icings and decorating.
Color icings, batters or beverages. Add a little egg white or water and use like watercolors to paint cookies, icing surfaces, modeling chocolate. Can be used for face paint, hair dye or with homemade clays.
STORAGE: Powder colors will not spoil as long as they are kept dry and uncontaminated. Some colors may lose strength after a year or longer, but most will stay usable for many years. Keep them in a cool, dry space in air tight containers, away from heat and light. A cabinet or pantry is perfect!
