answer:Yes, I just went completely flaccid. Well you said does it turn you off, so I answered… that way. I’m sure the red can be achieved in other more natural ways without compromising the flavor. Cakes aren’t meant to be natural or healthy, they are meant to be beautiful. I would love to work on some recipes for more organic coloring/ingredients for cakes. I’m not usually a huge cake fan, but there are some cakes out there that are both fun to make and enjoyable to eat. None of them come in boxes or use food coloring. Now with gumpaste/fondant I would still work with food coloring, I mean you kinda have to.
