The natural color is a pretty blush pink and the flavor is just right! I used it on some shortbread and think it would be lovely on mini abgel cakes. Thanks, Scarlett!

A wonderful glaze. Had some angel cake and some strawberries made for perfect timing. Loved the color without food coloring. Do I dare admit this looked and tasted so good I didn't stain this time around! I do have recipes that will see me staining to glaze. Yes, this one is a repeatable.
