Also you can add lemon juice to the red cabbage juice to make a bright violet pink.

Also I made the blue using baking soda then accidentally overcooked/burnt it (while trying to reduce it) and it went a really bright almost synthetic looking green. A happy accident because it was helpful to make the green I was trying to make

This is brilliant and just what I needed to keep making my kids their fun, creative birthday cakes. It's such a Godsend especially with a child, like one of mine, that suffers from Celiac disease.

You saved my day I was thinking of preparing some colour full sweets for Christmas but I don't want to use the artificial craps. Thanks a lot.

I like the style of the video.  It reminds me of a Wes Anderson movie.

Beets are pretty amazing for red, too. They stain hands like crazy though.

This worked perfectly! All the food colouring in my house suddenly disappeared, and I needed some badly. Thank you so much!

I just wanted to say thank you. I have been going through a lot and when I heard you were posting videos more often makes things a lot easier. Thank you. I love your videos

Love your style, choice of music, and the little bits of scientific facts you throw in your videos! Thank you for sharing your recipes and techniques in such a beautiful way!

I just tried this and it worked great, thanks!! 👍🏼 Now I can make a natural blue and purple cake for my son for his birthday!
I boiled the cabbage for 10 minutes, boiled the leftover water for 20 minutes to reduce, and that worked! I added a little less than 1/2 tsp of baking soda to make dark almost navy blue.

I'm a massive chem nerd, and I love how you explained the changes in pH. You go gurl.

[brokentoesies]

I was always grossed out by food coloring, but loved colored cakes and buttercream. Thanks for the recipe!

[joenatsuko]

If I remember correctly from science class, the purple cabbage juice is a pH indicator. Cool stuff!

You've made a delightfully educated and healthy alternative fun and easy to follow. This was so succinct, simple and entertaining as well that I will recommend to others. TY

Love it! Now I can gladly start making colorful desserts! I never did because I didn't want to use the synthetics at all. Very easy to follow, and I like how you gave the reduced option for liquid vs gel coloring.
I really like how you designed the visuals as well <3

The cabbage one was a really neat trick! I remember learning about it when I was little, but I never thought of using it in this way.

[anahigz]

Woooww. Super ideas!! I usually use just beets to make food pink or purple, but this is a whole variety. Thanks you :)
