A little behind the scenes peek into how we shop for our home bakery!
Lately, we’ve been chatting with a few of you about the sprinkles and food coloring we buy to finish our treats. A lot of people are surprised to learn that even when you buy "natural" sprinkles and food coloring, the red and pink colors are often made from crushed bugs (carmine).
Because we care so much about what goes into our baked goods, we go out of our way to buy natural sprinkles and food coloring that use 100% natural plant and fruit juices to dye their red and pink colors instead of bugs.
Speaking of colors — we apply that same care to our black frosting! Instead of packing it full of bitter artificial dyes, we use rich black cocoa powder to get that deep, dark look. The best part? It tastes amazing and it won't stain your teeth or tongue!
We love doing the research to find the best ingredients so you can just focus on enjoying your beautiful, clean, and delicious treats!
