Watkins Assorted Food Coloring 1 Each Red Yellow Green Blue Total Four 0 3 oz bottles 4 Count

I enjoy these as a replacement of regular color dyes. The bottle sizes are about average, and value is fair for money. After all, anything better for us is going to be twice the price. When used for baking the colors run lighter, if you want a darker color then more drops will have to be added. Overall, happy this is an option for colorful desserts. Read more

We wanted to make the change and try these natural food dyes, and they work really well considering the ingredients are natural! Since they are natural, the colors are more pastel or light. You’ll need to up the amount for richer color. Nonetheless, the colors are still true to their color. The bottles are durable and are conveniently sized as other brands I don’t mind the lighter colors so I am not sure how much you’ll need for that, but they are lasting. :) Read more

We limit the amount of dyes our kids consume so this year while doing our Christmas sugar cookies we decided to try these no artificial colors food coloring and it was much better then expected! They made the cookies taste better in my opinion and looked so adorable all while not having to worry about feeding the kiddos junk! The kids loved using them to decorate their very own cookies they were able to mix their own even super easy! 🥰 We used some of the food coloring to a cake to add some red and it baked really well didn’t make a difference the red was a little hard to get to a dark color but other then that they are great! Everything from the full good sized bottles, easy to use, nicely sealed to the beautiful colors on our cookies was wonderful, We really appreciate these being an option at good quality and a great price!

The media could not be loaded. First of all I have to note that while these dyes are not perfect, I’m thrilled that there’s an alternative to making a colorful cake that’s full of artificial dye. It makes my son go crazy, so we’ve recently been cutting it out as much as possible. This is my first experience with using it. I’m not a professional. I’m self-taught and only do cakes for my kids’ birthdays. That said, here’s my experience! First, I only used fondant for coloring. I believe that’s relevant to the review and that icing may color differently. So, the colors are pastel, not vibrant (with the exception of the yellow, which is gorgeous!). You can achieve a better color by adding more dye of course, but they will still be pastel tones at best and it takes a lot of dye to get a good color. For reference, I used the whole bottle of blue to get the light blue effect pictured for the sky. After a small test I determined the red would not work. No matter how much I worked it in, I get not get it to the bright color I was looking for, and the fondant started to turn slimy from too much liquid added. So how did I get the bright colors shown in the picture? I painted it on with paintbrushes! That turned out to be the key to get vibrant colors for our beloved Paper Mario. On mixing colors: When I mixed the colors to make brown for the bricks, the dye stayed wet and after a few minutes the colors separated back out. Instead of brown, the blocks had little green, red, and yellow specks. Weird! I brushed them with a dry brush and the colors mixed back in. They were fine after that. The dye seems to stay wet if you do the painting method instead of the working-it-into-the-fondant method, but that was okay with me as long as the colors stayed put! If you do mix the colors by working it into the fondant, the colors don’t separate out and you can mix them up as much as you want. However, that method is best reserved for light colors (the peach-colored fondant for Mario’s skin and the mushroom, for example). All in all, it was a positive experience. My rating would probably be closer to a 3.5, but if I have to round it to the nearest star then it has to be 4, since overall I’m just happy this was even an option and even though there was a learning curve, I was thrilled with how it turned out! For the black lines, I used TruColor grape gel paste mixed with a little vodka and they turned out great. If you found this review helpful (or maybe you just like the Paper Mario cake), please give me a thumbs up! Thanks! Read more

These are fine if you want soft color. Not recommended if you need strong colors. However, the product works great for pastel colors. Quick cleanup. Read more

My toddlers have recently become fans of colored water play. Since they often drink some of the water too I wanted something “natural”. These seemed great, but the colors are weird. When I put a drop into an empty container it appears to be the color of the lid, but when I add water the color changes. Red becomes purple, green becomes neon yellow, and yellow becomes dark orange. (Blue is fine). They’re fine for what they are and maybe if you mixed them into frosting they’d stay the color they should be. Read more

Gave these a try after wanting cleaner chioces. Shake the bottle a bit before using to ensure the colors mix well before pouring. Colors with light amounts of dye are a muted pastel color and just inrease it to male darker. No odd taste was left behind as no one ever mentioned it! Win! Read more

I bought these as a dye free option for 2 Cookie Decorating classes I taught yesterday for Valentines Day. Everyone so appreciated the dye free option. I used them in Buttercream Frosting and thought the colors were beautiful. They are more on the pastel side and I had to use alot but I had purchased 2 sets so it was no problem. I would definitely buy these again. Read more
