Friends!! I’m excited to have recently tested @thesugarart new Natural Colors with my royal icing recipe (which is very basic, no acid which might impact chemistry), and my initial impressions are highly positive. While it does take a bit more product to achieve the same depth of shade compared to synthetic colors, this line is a huge step forward in supporting the industry’s move toward cleaner, globally compliant color formulations. There’s no discernible flavor in any of the pigments I tested, and the staying power has been impressive—colors remain vibrant and true even after 5+ days away from direct sunlight. The shades themselves are beautifully balanced and versatile for decorating. I am still working on doing a freezer test, sun test and longevity test. I’d highly recommend that decorators start testing these with their own recipes now to ensure a smooth transition when the time comes. Change takes time, and color chemistry is complex, but thoughtful testing is key to success—and these pigments are a great place to start. I will continue share my thoughts as I keep experimenting with natural color options :) , and if you have specific questions, please leave them below and I’ll help if I can and if not, add it to the list of questions to find answers for 🥰 #dyefree #naturalfoodcolor #borderlandsbakery #sugarcookies #cookiedecorating #royalicing #customcookies #fallcookies #babycookies #decoratedcookies #thesugarart #royalicingcookies
