Natural food colourings for baking?

9 replies

Just wondering if it's possible to buy food colourings that are natural and if so where I can get them from. I'm getting DC to make sweets for christmas presents and would really like them not to be full of e numbers!

what sweets need colourings?

goingfor3 · 23/11/2007 15:01

Supermakets have natural colourings in the baking sections.

Was planning to do a selection. But things like marzipan fruits, different colour peppermint creams etc. Suppose they don't need colours would be nice if we could make them different.

Oh, just been to sainsburys and couldn't find any. Will try other supermarkets though, thanks goingfor3.

ah right - I was thinking truffles, florentines, coconut ice, those peanut butter ones etc

mummynumber2 · 23/11/2007 15:09

Hadn't thought of those actually. Maybe some truffles would be good too...

Supercook is the brand we always find, unusal for there not to be any. It just says natural red couloring on the bottle you can also get yellow.
