Happy first day of March everyone! I can not believe that it is March 1st today. This year has truly gone by so fast. When I was in middle school I decided to do a science fair project to see if color really affected how food tasted to someone. Fun fact for all of you… IT DOES! I did this by adding food coloring to vanilla cake mix and having my friends taste two different cupcakes. One with food coloring in it and one without. I had them taste each of the same cupcakes blindfolded then not. Pretty crazy right? Anyways I always thought before this project that if a cake had color in it that it meant it was flavored with whatever color was added. All it takes is a little food coloring to add something special to your dessert. For example this cake pictured in today’s post was simply colored with red food coloring. Now most people assume that if you add red food coloring it will be red, but if you only add a few drops to a white cake mix it will turn your cake pink and not red. If you have seen all those amazing ombre colored cakes on Pintrest this is what they all do. Make one cake with one drop of food coloring of you choice then the second one with 3 – 4 and then depending on how many layers you want continue up. This way each layer gradually is a darker shade of whatever color that you use. I hope you all are having a great week so far and for those of us in NYC enjoying this crazy weather we are having. Anyone else ready for some snow? I am most definitely not! Enjoy today’s hump day treat of fun facts<3
