Great alternative! The colors turned out pretty bright given there are no actual dies in it

I love this food coloring, but I wish it wasn’t so pricy. I was able to achieve the colors needed for two birthday cakes, but I had to spend more than I wanted or expected to. We avoid dyes and other harmful/toxic ingredients/chemicals, so paying more is unfortunately expected. I poured the powder directly into American Buttercream icing i made for our first birthday cake and had no issues with the colors mixing into the icing. For the next cake, i went with Swiss Meringue Buttercream and read that you can’t put the powder directly into the icing. I poured the powders into a bowl and added a very small amount of water and mixed it well then added it to the icing. It was lighter at first for my crumb coat. The next day I wanted to add the final coat, so I had to whip the icing again once it sat out for a couple hours from the fridge. It made the color darker, which is exactly what I wanted, but you may want to consider this when you add a final coat later, requiring the icing to be whipped again if it was refrigerated. I’m not sure if it was the refrigeration (the cake with the crumb coat did not darken, but the re-whipped icing did) or whipping it again that made it darken.

I used these to color cookie icing. I was happy with the results

My first time making macarons so I only took off 1 star as perhaps there is user error involved here? This recipe was for 24 macarons. I slowly added the Blue spirulina powder and then finally dumped the whole packet (which states can be used for “1 pint of frosting”). Prior to going into the oven, they were a saturated purple-leaning blue. However they came out of the oven a sad gray. Having natural food coloring options is important, and I spent a lot of time looking for ones and was happy to come across these. I just wish the result was better. (The frosting that I made did not contain any of the coloring powder - that is just from fresh blueberries.). Perhaps I’ve misunderstand this powder’s intended applications.

Worked perfectly! I added more than recommended to obtain more vivid colors.

Not horrible but had to use a lot to get some color. Didn’t expect the product to be so small once you open the box it contains 3 little tubes of the coloring.

Chemical free, vegan, gluten free, non-gmo, beautiful colors, easy to combine...what's not to love? I will not use any food coloring other than ColorKitchen. Also, these can absolutely be used with fondant! Decorated my daughter's birthday cake with some roses crafted out of homemade marshmallow fondant, and the ColorKitchen powders worked beautifully. As a guide, I followed the information that I found on their website:"When working with heated recipes, like a gummy candy, mix colors into a liquid first and then add into the cooling phase for maximum color vibrancy. You can make a gel by mixing powders with a very small amount of water or glycerin (approx ¼ tsp liquid to 1 ¼ tsp color to make a paste) for easy blending,"and I was able to successfully create the pink and green fondant that I needed for the occasion. Love!!

Blue turned cake a dull grey. Had to throw it away. Very irritating
