Mother’s Day DIY to Try: Watercolor Meringues

 

 

Make store bought meringues feel like custom treats for guests, with this simple watercolor-inspired DIY. They may look like tiny pieces of art, but they are also completely edible (and delicious). Since this project uses gel food coloring, they're 100% safe to eat. 

 

 

Materials:

• Meringues
• Gel Food Coloring (assorted colors)
• Small Paint Brush (cake decorating brushes work great)
• Water
• Small bowl
• Paper Towels

How-To:

 

 

1. Using a paint brush or toothpick, grab a small amount of gel food coloring (a little goes a long way) and place in a bowl.

 

 

 

2. Next, add water and stir.

 

 

 

3. To create color blocked watercolor meringues, simply dunk the meringue into the food coloring mixture quickly and remove. Set on a paper towel to dry.

 

 

 

4. To create a painted pinwheel, dip a paint brush into the food coloring and use as you would any other paint. Set on a paper towel and let dry.

 

 

5. Place into small bags or decorative boxes.
