The topic is very relevant. Many people have asked us about this. Therefore, Maria's research on this topic is most welcome.

So, my part is finished and I pass the WORD, or rather the FEATHER, to Mary ...

What do you think is good about gingerbread? They are delicious, for sure. But gingerbread is also created in order to create a joyful mood. Haven't you noticed how children and adults sincerely rejoice when they are given gingerbread?

Gingerbread "works" even when we just see it: on the master's table, in a shop window, what can I say, even when we look at photos of gingerbread in books or on a computer screen.

And in this magical action, the gingerbread helps him faithful friend - icing, thanks to which he cheerfully tries on colorful outfits. So here they are, two halves of the whole - delicious gingerbread and his colored clothes are icing.

That's what we'll talk about today. Or rather about how to add color to it. Of course, many of you are already baking gingerbread and will say - we know how. Add a little gel food coloring and stir. That's it. All right. But here's a question for you - have you tried to use instead of gel paints natural dyes ? By natural we mean those that are created nature itself and man did not bring his technologies into their production. Agree, it will be very nice to treat such gingerbread baby.


I've decided to try it. And what happened as a result of my experiments, you will now find out. I must say right away that the experiments are still ongoing and the topic will be supplemented.

So general:

  • Nature does not have "poisonous", oversaturated colors. The shades of the resulting glaze can be called calm, natural, pleasing to the eye with their harmony.
  • Glazed gingerbread cookies do not need to be kept in the light, they may lighten a little or change color.
  • To get colored glaze with natural dyes, you may need 2 or even 3 times more time than when using gel dyes (it’s better to admit it right away)))
  • The resulting range of colors, of course, is not as diverse as when using synthetic food colors, but not so poor either - you can get used to it ...)
  • Natural dyes often complement the taste of gingerbread and make it even more interesting.

And now to business.

Red

We will not expect bright red, poppy (or New Year's!) colors (at least for now). To obtain "red" shades, you can use the juices of red berries - raspberries, lingonberries, cherries, pomegranates. Squeeze the juice and add it instead of water to the glaze of the base consistency. When the glaze acquires the consistency of a filling, then its color at this moment can be called pink rather than red. The brightest shade (which for me is now the most preferable) is blackcurrant. It is a fairly bright mauve color that is resistant to light and gives the glaze a pleasant berry flavor.

If we need a colored base glaze consistency, for example for contours, then there are 2 options: or we add finely-finely ground dried berry(you can buy industrial grinding or grind it yourself in a coffee grinder) and just a little bit of water, or add to base glaze juice for coloring, and then again thicken it with powder, so that it becomes approximately “like the base”.

Many sources talk about beet juice - fresh or stewed. I did not like this juice for several reasons. It still gives some aftertaste, the shade is lilac, it quickly fades on the finished gingerbread.

Green

Green is my joy. Here we can say that there are no problems with him. To tint the glaze, I use concentrated liquid chlorophyll (you can not concentrated it, there will be a similar effect). In appearance, it looks like brilliant green, a small bottle with a pipette. Dropped a few drops - basic green icing. A few drops plus some water - filling. Less drip - light green color, more - normal green. Chlorophyll gives an almost imperceptible light herbal flavor to the glaze. When eating gingerbread goes unnoticed). Liquid chlorophyll can be purchased at some pharmacies or online. healthy eating. I bought on the site https://ru.iherb.com

This is first.

Secondly, it gives the color rather swampy, dirty. I do not advise.


Yellow

It's more difficult with him. The greatest color, such a good, yellowish, can be obtained by adding turmeric powder to the glaze. If you're looking for a base frosting consistency, turmeric is fine. Add it and some water. We use it for contours or when there is not a lot of such glaze on the gingerbread. The fact is that turmeric gives a flavor that is not needed for gingerbread. If you need a yellow filling glaze, then a combination of sea buckthorn juice as a liquid and a little turmeric has shown itself well. It turns out a delicious yellowish glaze.

The advice from the Internet - squeezing the juice from the zest of a lemon has been tried. Honestly. But apparently the lemon was not very juicy, no matter how much I pressed, I didn’t get more than a few drops. The advice of adding juice of carrots stewed with butter. But this option also did not take root. Somehow I don't want fried stewed carrots apply to gingerbread. And the color turned pale very quickly at the glaze, literally on the 3rd day.

Blue

I had almost come to terms with the fact that there would be no blue. It won't, and that's it. No where to get it and that's it. But quite unexpectedly, red cabbage came to the rescue. I thought it would be a purple shade, but after mixing with the glaze, the color turned out to be sky blue. I was very glad. I did not feel the cabbage taste, but I did not fill the entire gingerbread with blue icing, only individual details. We need to be careful here, let's try. Still, cabbage is not raspberry, it may have a slight undesirable aftertaste.

Gray or grey-lilac

This is where blueberry juice comes in handy. Mice, elephants, hedgehogs, etc. look good in this color. And only the icing itself will limit us, do not shift the juice so that it is not too liquid.

Brown

To obtain all shades of brown, you can safely use cocoa powder. It turns out very delicious icing, right chocolate. We also get an interesting coffee shade when adding instant coffee. We dilute a little instant coffee in a very small amount of water so that the granules disperse. And then add this thick mixture to white icing. The coffee gingerbread was also very tasty, like coffee with cream. I wanted to make some kind of gingerbread in the form of a cake or a cup of coffee with this icing ... Compared to cocoa, coffee gives a warmer shade of brown, as if a little yellow had been dropped.


I would be glad if my experiments with natural dyes are useful to you. In any case, this is food for thought. Why not treat the kids to such gingerbread cookies?)

Maria Vasilevskaya

Today in stores you can easily find a fabulous variety of food colors that will decorate any pastry in all the colors of the rainbow. That's just chemical composition these dyes often calls out for concern. Especially when it comes to sweets for children, when you need to make or order a birthday cake for a toddler.

The following are ways to prepare natural dyes for creams and glazes.

Light pink dye

Pale pink icing and cream are created using raspberries.

In this case, you can make a completely raspberry cream. In this case, the cake will require 180 ml of raspberries. Or you can just paint the cream or glaze with raspberry paint. To do this, take 2 teaspoons of concentrated raspberry juice for 1 glass of cream.

White-pink color

Created with strawberries.

Everything is exactly the same as with raspberries. 180 ml of strawberries per volume of cream or glaze for one cake. And then it's pure strawberry cream. Or 4 teaspoons of concentrated strawberry juice per glass of cream or glaze.

intense pink

Many people are afraid to paint beetroot cakes. And what if instead of a cake it turns out in the end beetroot salad? Do not be afraid. Will not work. The beetroot glaze will be red and will not endow the dessert with the aroma of borscht.

Beets should be baked in foil until tender. But you can also just boil it. Who is more comfortable. The main thing is that the vegetable does not lose its color. Then grate on a fine grater.

The exact amount needed to color the crushed beets is determined by how intense the color you want to achieve. Usually the ratio of beets: icing is enough - 1 to 8.

Do not be afraid. The icing will become intensely pink, but not beetroot in taste.

Pink purple shade

Creams and glazes of a similar color are obtained using blackberries.

The recipe is similar to using raspberries and strawberries.

Truly blackberry cream requires the addition of 120 ml of blackberries per serving. For tinting, you can take 4 teaspoons concentrated juice per glass of cream or glaze.

orange paint

Creams and glazes orange color as easy to get as the red ones. Sometimes it is advised to add citruses, mainly orange, for orange coloring. But this method is not very efficient.

A much brighter orange color is acquired by creams and glazes in which carrot juice is present.

And again, do not be afraid of what carrot juice will make of the cake carrot cake. Won't. The juice has a rich color, and you need very little of it.

The standard dosage is 3.5 tablespoons carrot juice for 1 cup of cream or glaze.

yellow dye

Glaze or yellow cream is very easy to make. It is enough to add a little turmeric to them.

But you have to be very careful with turmeric, as this spice is spicy. And unlike the harmless beet, it gives the glaze a sharpness and its own specific taste. Therefore, if you put it a little more than required, you can easily spoil the pastries.

To prevent such an incident, turmeric should not be added immediately to the icing or cream itself, but to the amount of liquid that is planned to be added to them.

Most good ratio This is ½ teaspoon of turmeric powder to 2 tablespoons of liquid (preferably milk). Next, the liquid with turmeric dissolved in it must be added to 1 glass of cream or glaze.

Green color

As for coloring cream and icing in green color, then not everything is clear.

Most effective way- This is the addition of spinach leaves chopped in a blender. It's just that the color is not too intense.

For example, the icing of this cake required the use of two whole cups of chopped spinach for its coloring. It is clear what is a large number of greens can give a cream or glaze its own flavor, which is completely inappropriate for sweet pastries.

Therefore, other bright flavors, for example, a large amount of mint, have to be added to green creams and glazes with spinach.

Still, some people can't eat this kind of spinach cake. It is said that sweetness leaves behind a nasty aftertaste.

yellow green shade

This shade is achieved by adding 8 teaspoons of mashed avocado pulp to 1 cup of cream (glaze) in a cream or glaze.

But the food turns out to be an amateur, since the taste of avocado is felt distinctly.

It can be seen that even spinach, even avocado, the dye is not too bright and has its own taste unsuitable for dessert.

Light lilac color

Light lilac, white-lilac are obtained using blueberries.

For blueberry cream (glaze), take 120 ml of blueberries per serving (per cake). For a simple touch-up, use 8 teaspoons of concentrated blueberry juice for a glass of cream. But in this case, the color is not so bright.

Violet and blue dyes

For all their apparent artificiality, dyes for cream in purple and of blue color may well be natural. True, their preparation is quite troublesome.

To create purple and blue food paint, we need a large head red cabbage.

It needs to be cut large pieces, pour water and put to boil. Water should be poured as little as possible so that it only covers the cabbage.

Boil the cabbage for 15-40 minutes. Depends on the variety. The main thing is that the cabbage broth acquires an intense purple hue.

As soon as this happened, we take out the cabbage from it. And the broth itself continues to boil until evaporation. It will take quite a long time to boil. Since, after all, the broth from under one large head of cabbage should turn into only ¼ cup of dye.

This is how it should look like in the end.

Or just add the resulting purple dye to the icing or cream, and end up with purple pastries.

Or add a pinch of baking soda to purple dyes, which instantly turns purple dye blue.

From which you can then easily prepare any blue cream.

And don't be afraid to spoil the taste of baking with cabbage spirit. He won't.
