• 2 TB Vinegar
• 2TB Oil (your preference)
• pinch of salt
• yellow dye
  >>natural alternatives that provide yellow coloring include ground annatto seed and/or turmeric. Only a pinch is needed!

hot water bath

Blend until smooth. Consistency will be thick >>To maintain a workable, runny texture, put the bowl of glaze in a larger

bowl that’s filled with hot water (as pictured).

For spreading on, a spatula is best. Or! With cakes and loaves, you can always pour the glaze over to create a nice drizzle pattern. With individual cupcakes, you can simply dip them in to coat their tops. Another possibility is to pour the glaze in a ziplock bag, close, then cut off a corner and pipe the glaze through it to create pretty designs on your baked goods.
