Great Alternative to Traditional Dyes!
We have a child that can’t have red dye, and we love to bake and often want to color frostings and icings. We’ve been so limited on colors until now. I’ve used this a couple of times to create pastels for very large batches of frosting (probably 8+ cups), and I still have plenty left. It’s really easy to use and mixes really well for a powder. I love that you don’t have to prep it in any way, just add it into the mixer and watch the color appear. I didn’t follow the color suggestions on the back since I had an idea of the color I wanted. It was easy enough to achieve the colors I wanted each time. I haven’t used the blue yet, but hopefully soon!Update: Added a photo of our Christmas cookies, and I have to say we are even more pleased with these now. I never would have thought we could get a color anywhere near a true red with these, but by mixing a lot of the pink, some of the yellow, and a bit of the blue we got the color you see there. I’m also really pleased with the blue by itself. We just opened it for the cookies tonight. These are going to be a staple in our baking cabinet from now on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great with homemade buttercream! RECEIPT INCLUDED
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2017
YAY! This coloring is amazing. My son can't have artificial dyes so we have tried many natural color options over the years. THIS is our favorite by far. The powder colors blend in great and on first try we mixed green just as the box instructed and it turned out great!! With other brands the colors were very light with recommended amount and we would have to use a lot. We had perfect green icing the first try and my son was thrilled! I have already order another box because we have not seen this locally and I want to be sure we have more. I will post the buttercream icing recipe we use below. It has worked amazing with this coloring and the icing is the correct amount to follow the mixing guide on the box.

**Buttercream Icing**
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 tablespoons milk
McCormick Natural Food Color

1) Cream room temperature butter with a hand mixer, the paddle attachment of a stand mixer, or a wooden spoon until smooth and fluffy.
2) Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until fully incorporated.
3) Beat in vanilla extract.
4) Pour in milk and beat for an additional 3-4 minutes.
5) Add food color, if using, and beat for thirty seconds until smooth. See box and add color as directed for frosting.

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2023
All natural vibrant colors! I used this to mix the pink, blue, and yellow in separate icing but I put it all in one piping bag and I got a beautiful rainbow effect!! I made cookie cakes and cupcakes for my kids party and everyone complimented them. The dyes have no bitter taste like dyes you’d usually find! Absolutely no taste so the icing stays delicious! Will be using in the future for sure.

Wonderful to find food colours that you can use with confidence knowing that they are not harmful. We decorated heart shaped cookies for Valentines Day and the colours turned out very nicely. I also used the blue (not pictured here) which was simply a true blue. They are powdered so don’t thin the icing.
