What are the best recipes you have for multicoloured pies? I have used food colouring and poster paint with shaving foam to get some good bright colours in my pies. Do you know any others? Share your suggestions and one day I hope to test them out
It all depends how much effort and expense you want to throw at it (!). Personally rather than one solid colour, I quite like to layer them, remembering what's on the bottom of the plate appears on top when pushed in a guys or girls face.
You can mix up the consistencies if you don't mind mixing the edible with the inedible, ie red or pink food colouring first, then yogurt, custard and shaving foam. Giving the plate a twist after pushing it in the guys or girls face looks great.
You could also try pie fillings, cherries in particular look great.
Marshmallow fluff mixed with cake frosting and some warm water, is nice and thick and drippy and provides good coverage. If you're worried about washing the colour out of clothing, the only one I've struggled with is red (washable!) poster paint..
