This month’s baking round-up from Helen at Casa Costello is all about colour in baking…

over to helen…

Colour in baking can look fantastic, whether it be in the decoration or the ingredients used. It’s not always necessary to use food colouring to create exciting colour combinations – fruit has proven a very popular way off adding that something extra. I’ve included a couple of savoury bakes this month that are equally colourful – the spinach and coconut yogurt cake made me gasp when I saw the inside. There are also a couple of tutorial posts in this month’s roundup – don’t miss CakeyBoi telling us everything we need to know about making the ever popular rainbow cake.
