One of the Kids had a birthday recently and asked Kid2 to make a cake. They chose the tiger from the Women's Weekly birthday cake book and Kid2 made a chocolate cake from scratch and then did the buttercream icing.
When she went to colour it, though, she discovered we didn't have yellow food colouring.
'It's a shame we don't have a spice or something we could use...' she mused.
'Omg,' I said. 'TURMERIC! It's a really mild flavour and you'll only need a little. The icing is super sweet and the chocolate cake will mask the earthy taste of the turmeric. Give it a try!'
And so she did (with a little bit of icing in a separate bowl just in case). And we taste tested it and it was great! I think it turned out amazingly. What a star she is 🥰
