Have you ever tried coloring black fondant at home? It can be incredibly frustrating, especially if you start with white fondant. Adding black gel food color often results in a moss green shade that’s nowhere near black. Another issue with coloring black fondant is that the final product tends to be too soft due to the excessive gel food color. This makes it difficult to roll out and drape over a cake....

For many years, I avoided making my own salsas. The recipes seemed complicated, or I just didn’t care much for the homemade salsas that I had tried. We are admittedly, somewhat picky about our homemade salsas. While we enjoy endless varieties of store-bought salsas, most of the homemade versions never tasted quite right to me. However, several years ago, when tomato season arrives, it was time to try again. Being in the desert, our farmer’s market sells fresh organic tomatoes almost year round, but I much prefer the price when I am pulling them from our own garden!...
