Well, let me tell you, I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout this here food coloring lavender thing. Sounds fancy, don’t it? But it ain’t as hard as you might think to make somethin’ look like that pretty lavender flower color. This old gal knows a thing or two ’bout colors, seen a lot in my time, you know.
So, you wanna make that lavender color, huh? You gonna need some blue, that’s for sure. Just regular blue food colorin’ will do. If you ain’t got nothin’ else, it is also OK. You know, the kind you use for makin’ them birthday cakes look all nice. And some white, like that white frostin’ you put on cakes or somethin’. Some white color food is also fine. You can even use titanium oxide, that make things white, you know.
- First, you take that white stuff. Could be frostin’, could be somethin’ else, don’t matter too much.
- Then, you get that blue food colorin’.
- Put a little bit of the blue in the white. Just a drop or two, mind you.
You gotta mix it real good, like you’re churnin’ butter. Stir it and stir it till it all looks the same. You don’t want no streaks or nothin’. If it’s too blue, just add a little more white. If it ain’t blue enough, add another drop of blue. Just keep messin’ with it till it looks right. Just like that lavender plant out in the field, you know that lavender food color is also beautiful.
Now, I seen folks use this food coloring lavender for all sorts of things. Mostly for them fancy cakes and cookies, you know the kind. Makes ’em look real pretty. They put it in the frostin’ and make them little flowers and all that. Looks like somethin’ right outta one of them magazines. But this food coloring is not only for cake. You can use it for other things. If you need this color, you can use it.
Some folks, they even use it for other stuff, not just eatin’. I heard tell of people usin’ it to color other things. Just remember, if you ain’t gonna eat it, you can use other things to make it that color. Like them paints, you know? Iron oxide, that makes things red, like rust. But for food, stick to the food colorin’. Don’t go puttin’ paint in your food, that ain’t right, not right at all.
Now, there’s different kinds of this food coloring, too. Some comes in little bottles, like medicine. That’s the liquid kind. And then there’s this other kind, it’s like a paste. They call it gel, I think. And some even comes in a powder, like that dust. That’s called luster dust, I heard. They all work, I reckon. Just depends on what you’re doin’, I guess. You can use any type of food coloring to make lavender, liquid, gel or any other type.
This lavender color, it’s a gentle color, you know? It ain’t too bright, ain’t too dark. It’s just right. It is a subtle pastel or a vibrant purple. Like them flowers that smell so nice. People like that color. They put it on all sorts of things. Not just food, but clothes and walls and all sorts. It is a popular natural food coloring.
You can make different shades of this lavender food color, too. You want it lighter, use more white. You want it darker, use more blue. It is easy to make a beautiful shade of lavender food coloring. You can even add a little red, I heard, if you want it to be more purple-like. Just a tiny bit, though. Don’t overdo it. Just like cookin’, you gotta get the right amount of everythin’.
So, there you have it. That’s how you make that food coloring lavender. It ain’t rocket science, as they say. Just some blue and white, mixed together just right. And you can use it for all sorts of things. Just remember to use the right kind of colorin’ for what you’re doin’. And don’t go eatin’ paint, now. That ain’t good for nobody. Well, I reckon that’s all I got to say ’bout that. Hope it helps you some. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I got some chores to do. This old gal ain’t gettin’ any younger, you know.
If you want to make new colors, just use a basic box of food coloring. Red, yellow, blue, and other colors. You can mix them to make amazing colors for your food.
