NYC Cake Decorators love sharing neat ideas for saving money in the kitchen, and Cake 'n Crumbs has a sweet idea for food color gel pastes that we just had to pass it along.

Did you know that you can use Gel Paste Colors to dye your Easter Eggs? Get your Gel Pastes and make the coolest colored eggs in town! Need spring color gel pastes? Ditch the crowded subways and purchase your gels online!

Coloring Easter Eggs:

For each desired color, place these ingredients into cups and stir well:

1-1/2 Teaspoons Vinegar

1 Cup Boiling Water (Cold water can be used as well but the colors don't dissolve as well)

1/8 Teaspoon Gel Paste Color (or use your own amount depending on the shade you desire)

Place hard boiled eggs into cups and let set for 5 minutes or until the desired shade of color is achieved. Shown here are the Electric Gel Paste Colors - these are so cool! For additional, creative ideas on how to decorate your Easter Eggs, go to Cake 'n Crumbs Recipes page.
