Unicorns are still my most popular cake even as we enter 2019. This cake is vanilla bean with Vanilla American Buttercream. The horn and ears are made of gumpaste. The cookies are my stanrdard sugar cookie and royal icing recipes. What makes this unicorn cake more unique over my previous orders is that the cake and cookies use all natural dyes. No artificial colors or dyes were used. I always love being able to make a cake for a girl whose favorite colors are pink and purple and can eat it too. #haveyourcakeandeatittoo #unicornsareawesome #unicorncake #unicorncookies #allnaturalfoodcoloring #noartificialcolors #buttercream #buttercreamcakes #cakesofinstagram @decadentaddictions @eecaec @theartpartyplace https://www.instagram.com/p/BtXwlN0ntjZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ufavxvn08bwk

🥥 Coconut Shrimp w Butterfly Pea Flower Tea 🦋

Some of you may remember earlier posts where I experimented with the stunning, blue hues of Butterfly Pea Flower tea, a few years ago. Now I’m seeing it everywhere! And my own #supahtastytestkitchen for this ingredient continues, too. 

This Southeast Asian tea has been brewed for centuries, but is recently popping up on all kinds of menus. It’s hard to believe this vivid shade of blue is 100% natural. It also turns a vivid purple color, when you add even a hint of citrus to it. 

What I like about using it as an ingredient in baking, cooking and beverages, is that Butterfly Pea Flower has a really mild flavor, too. So it pairs perfectly with any other ingredient or recipe you add it to.

For this recipe I brewed the flowers as tea, and then steeped unsweetened coconut in the tea overnight, in the fridge. Then I toasted the coconut in the oven for a few minutes, before topping shrimp with it, and serving over zoodles. 

Peanut sauce proved a #supahtasty side for it, too. Full recipe will be up here on #supahtasty, soon...
