What is Poppy Paint?

Poppy Paint is a vibrant, food-grade paint made from natural ingredients like sugar, water, and fruit extracts. It comes in various bold colors, giving you endless possibilities to bring your artistic vision to life. Plus, it's completely non-toxic and dries quickly to enjoy your creations without any worries.

Getting Started with Poppy Paint: Your Beginner's Kit!

Turning treats into art is easy with Poppy Paint! Here's what you'll need:

1. Poppy Paint

   Pick your colors! Choose shades that match your artistic vision, from bold brights to calming pastels. Remember, you can always mix colors to create even more options.

2. Edible Canvas

   Think beyond the plate! Cookies, cupcakes, fondant decorations, even marshmallows – anything that can hold the paint becomes your artistic playground.

3. Fine Paint Brushes

   Control is key! Start with small brushes for delicate details like flower petals or facial features. Larger brushes tackle broader areas like backgrounds or frosting swirls.

4. Water Magic

   A little water unlocks endless possibilities! Use a dropper to thin the paint for watercolor washes or splatters. A mister adds a light, feathery touch. Remember, a little goes a long way, so start slow and add more if needed.

   Bonus Tip: Don't forget a palette! A clean plate or parchment paper is perfect for mixing colors and testing techniques before diving into your edible masterpiece.
