How to Color Desserts: Our Coloring Recipes

Every treat has its own coloring recipe. From frosting a cake coloring page to shading a chocolate coloring page, here are the techniques that bring depth to your dessert coloring pages.

15 min

Gradient Frosting

For a realistic cake coloring page, layer three shades of the same hue from top to bottom of the frosting, gradually lightening toward the light source.

Tip: leave a bit of white on the highlights for a glossy effect.

10 min

Summery Melt

On an ice cream coloring page, blend pastel colors wet-on-wet to recreate the melting effect of a scoop of ice cream in the sun.

Tip: work from lightest to darkest without letting the layers dry in between.

5 min

Glossy Flats

A candy coloring page is best colored in bold, saturated flats, finished with a tiny white dot left blank to suggest a sugary shine.

Tip: add the glossy dot only at the very end, once the color is laid down.

10 min

Shades of Brown

For a convincing chocolate coloring page, build depth from light caramel to dark chocolate in three successive passes.

Tip: a touch of red in the brown makes for a warmer, more indulgent chocolate.
