Colors to Use for Desserts

Browns work well for chocolate treats. Pastries can use yellows, whites, and pinks. Fruity desserts call for reds, purples, and oranges.

How to Color a Dessert

A. Layering Colors: For a chocolate cupcake, start with a brown base. Layer darker browns in the crease areas. Use pinks and whites for frosting on top.

B. Textured Effects: Use a cotton ball to dab on white frosting textures. Or make tiny dots with a pencil tip to create sprinkle patterns.

Invite Creativity Challenge: Complementary Treats

Color your dessert scene using complementary colors that sit opposite on the color wheel, like purple and yellow.

You’ll practice coordinating vivid yet balanced color pairings across the image.
