Want the deep colors to decorate Christmas cookies. Really like your blog. I learn so much.

Add some baking soda to the AC royal purple that has turned bluish and it will revert back to the royal purple colors. I just put a few drops on a Styrofoam plate, mix in some baking soda, and voila.

It’s genious! I have some colors that are running low so I will definitely be utilizing this. My colors will be good to the last drop.

I got a little scared when you wrote”forgot about the water factor.” I thought your icing was too thin but then I got really happy when you said it was PERFECT! Yeah!! I am glad it worked for you:) Happy Creating!

Thanks so much for the tip!! 😀

I always do it for laundry soap but I NEVER NEVER NEVER would have thought to apply it to icing colors as well!! You are brilliant!!
