How to Make Burnt Orange Food Coloring
Using food coloring enhances the look of icing on sweet treats like cupcakes, cakes and cookies. Most food coloring comes in standard colors like blue, red, yellow and green. However, mixing colors creates new and unique colors for icing, including burnt orange. Seasonal fall treats and sun or sunflower theme baked goods get realistic coloring by using a burnt orange icing.
