I’ll blame it on the France of it all (I’m in my final week of a month long visit), but a recent newsletter went out announcing the return of my virtual classes - without the link to the class! So I call for a re-do - join me on Saturday, June 20th at 1:00 pm CST to make an insanely good Devil’s Food Cake with Sweet Vanilla Frosting, and learn some tips for basic cake assembly + frosting along the way! (Oh, and celebrate my birthday week with me with my favorite cake!)
I’ve been chatting some lately about food coloring on Instagram lately because I get so many questions about it! First Up: did you know there are different kinds? If you’re using the wrong one, it may not be as pigmented, or it can even cause your recipe to break or separate! I primarily use two: oil based, and water based colorings.
Oil Based Coloring work best in fat-based recipes, because the pigment bonds to fatty ingredients, ultimately blending to make the most intense color.
Use it for: frostings and buttercreams, or add to chocolate for candy making.
Water Based Coloring work best in recipes with higher water content, only a few drops blend in effortlessly to create bold color.
Use it for: meringue, macarons, or royal icing.
My favorite brand is Colour Mill - the quality is exceptional, they blend in effortlessly, and they have the most gorgeous colors to choose from! You can purchase Colour Mill at my favorite baking supply store, BakeDeco.com. They have bottles of individual colors, or you can find some of my favorite sets linked below!

My frozen dessert obsession are individually portioned treats - they are fun to make + share, and easy to grab whenever I need to cool down. The key to making these look like a PRO made them is simple: silicone molds. They are easy to use, clean, and unmold - plus you can even bake in them, which makes each mold even more versatile!
