I am writing this based on my use with FROSTING a cakesprayed this on a red velvet cake since cream cheese frosting has a bit of a yellow cast on it and this worked great and gave my cake a nice pearly look to it without compromising taste. I sprayed about 8 inches away from the cake and sprayed evenly on the topreally changed the top coat color nicely and evenly. Cake tasted fine. I love that this product doesn't taint the entire frosting as regular gel or food coloring would do. It is messy so be prepared to cover surface underlying baked good to be sprayed. No need to over spraygave one quick even coat and a few minutes later another one and it gave me the results I wanted.
