Guest Instructor Angela Nino of The Painted Box shows how to make edible watercolor washes.
Edible watercolor is the perfect medium to use on pretty much anything. Fondant, gumpaste, modeling chocolate, royal icing, wafer paper and more. The colors react very much like real water colors and because it’s made with alcohol, the liquid evaporates very quickly leaving behind only the color. This is really important because if you use water, the liquid tends to dissolve the sugar and cause a soppy mess.
I first learned about edible watercolor from the amazing Angela Nino of The Painted Box. She makes these incredible cookies with gorgeous artistic watercolor effects. She’s an artist at heart and her cookies are her medium. I was so excited when she shared this recipe with us because it really has become a staple in my cake decorating and I owe it all to her genius 😀
