Hello,

I would like to try making some different flavor French Macarons,

I find that the regular liquid food colorings aren't very vibrant.

Anybody have suggestions on which brand or type of food colorings can give the vibrant colors like those pics of Herme etc ?

Thanks,

L

Food coloring pastes - applied to the mixing bowl by the toothpickful. They pack a punch.

A good pastry purveyor will have them. I have, shamefully, not been keeping up consistently with these threads ... there are probablly many resources listed. But for Doh! obvious starters, try King Arthur or JB Prince.. Sugarcraft seems to have a literal rainbow: http://www.sugarcraft.com/catalog/coloring/coloring.htm.

Google it & good luck.
