Before purchasing our Natural Food Colors - please review (or click for full tutorial HERE):

These are colors uniquely formulated to tint icings (royal, buttercream, etc). All natural colors are sensitive to light, heat and PH - at different levels.  

We strongly recommend keeping expectations minimal, when attempting to bake these colors. Tones WILL SHIFT or FADE in heat, light and highly acidic mediums (keep this in mind with your recipes). 

We recommend immediately covering your confections (cakes and cookies) once the designs are complete. Do not attempt to leave them in natural or UV light for an extended period of time as this may result in color fading.

Please be advised: We are unable to guarantee consistent performance in all recipes, mediums and circumstances. All sales are final on all products we produce, that will not change with our new Natural Colors.

* We are unable to offer refunds or replacements under any circumstances. 

When purchasing our new Natural Colors, you are taking a chance that they will work for your medium and process. We have done our best to demonstrate their performance in royal icing and buttercream, but all other mediums need to be tested independently and at your own discretion. It is our recommendation, before using these colors on orders, to TEST THEM THOROUGHLY.

These are natural botanicals, made with living plant extracts, it is important to ensure that the bottle is properly sealed after every use and the open container stored in a temperature controlled environment - preferably in refrigeration. This will help in longevity and prevent oxidation of the pigments.

All policies around natural colors are now included under Terms of Service - which you can find HERE. By purchasing these natural colors, you are understanding all sales are final and testing will be dependent on your own processes.
