These natural colors are derived from turmeric (yellow & green), spirulina (blue & green), and other vegetable extracts (red). In addition, all the colors contain glycerin, and some contain invert sugar & citric acid (red), trehalose, which is a natural glucose (blue & green), sodium citrate (blue & green), or polysorbate 80 (yellow & green). If you want to avoid any of those ingredients, then these colors aren't for you. But if you simply want to avoid the synthetic FD&C colors, then these are wonderful, VERY convenient colors.
The cons are that natural colors are never as potent as artificial colors, so it takes quite a bit of colorant to make vibrant frosting, for instance. The "red" should definitely be called "pink." You could conceivably make red with this, but it would take a bunch! I'm posting a picture of what 2 drops of each color looks like in a TABLESPOON of frosting. They're lovely colors, but if you need to color an entire cake in a very bright color, you'll need to buy more than one box. But if pastels/medium bright colors will do the trick, these are absolutely ideal. Very easy-to-use, no mess squeeze bottles. I use small amounts of frosting for flowers, trim, or other cake embellishments, and these are quick, convenient, and AWESOME.

First, I only used fondant for coloring. I believe that’s relevant to the review and that icing may color differently.
So, the colors are pastel, not vibrant (with the exception of the yellow, which is gorgeous!). You can achieve a better color by adding more dye of course, but they will still be pastel tones at best and it takes a lot of dye to get a good color. For reference, I used the whole bottle of blue to get the light blue effect pictured for the sky. After a small test I determined the red would not work. No matter how much I worked it in, I get not get it to the bright color I was looking for, and the fondant started to turn slimy from too much liquid added. So how did I get the bright colors shown in the picture? I painted it on with paintbrushes! That turned out to be the key to get vibrant colors for our beloved Paper Mario.
On mixing colors: When I mixed the colors to make brown for the bricks, the dye stayed wet and after a few minutes the colors separated back out. Instead of brown, the blocks had little green, red, and yellow specks. Weird! I brushed them with a dry brush and the colors mixed back in. They were fine after that. The dye seems to stay wet if you do the painting method instead of the working-it-into-the-fondant method, but that was okay with me as long as the colors stayed put!
If you do mix the colors by working it into the fondant, the colors don’t separate out and you can mix them up as much as you want. However, that method is best reserved for light colors (the peach-colored fondant for Mario’s skin and the mushroom, for example).
All in all, it was a positive experience. My rating would probably be closer to a 3.5, but if I have to round it to the nearest star then it has to be 4, since overall I’m just happy this was even an option and even though there was a learning curve, I was thrilled with how it turned out! For the black lines, I used TruColor grape gel paste mixed with a little vodka and they turned out great.
If you found this review helpful (or maybe you just like the Paper Mario cake), please give me a thumbs up! Thanks!
