🌿 Golden Ivory – Natural Food Color by The Sugar Art

Bring warmth and elegance to your confections with Golden Ivory, a soft, buttery hue derived from nature’s own botanicals. This natural food color delivers a delicate golden-cream tone that enhances cookies, royal icing, buttercream, and fondant with a clean, sophisticated glow.

Crafted from plant-based pigments and developed through The Sugar Art’s years of color science expertise, Golden Ivory is part of our new Natural Gel Color Collection — a line designed for artists who crave purity, performance, and beauty in every batch.

Unlike synthetic dyes, Golden Ivory offers a subtle, buildable tone that layers perfectly for creamy neutrals or deep, honeyed warmth depending on the intensity you choose. Whether you’re creating wedding cakes, sugar flowers, or vintage-style sugar cookies, this color brings an organic touch that feels timeless and modern all at once.

How do you make a natural ivory?

Ivory is white warmed with the smallest amount of yellow and brown, so small that mixing it usually produces cream or beige instead. Golden Ivory is our natural ivory, blended so the warmth is already correct. It is the base for skin tones as well, so it earns its place in the kit.

What is Golden Ivory natural food color?

Golden Ivory is a plant-based ivory for royal icing, buttercream and fondant. It layers from a creamy neutral through to a honeyed warmth depending on how much you use. It is water soluble, so it will not color chocolate. Vegan, FDA compliant, and made without gluten-containing ingredients.

Before purchasing our Natural Food Colors - please review (or click for full tutorial HERE):

These are colors uniquely formulated to tint icings (royal, buttercream, etc). All natural colors are sensitive to light, heat and PH - at different levels.

We strongly recommend keeping expectations minimal, when attempting to bake these colors. Tones WILL SHIFT or FADE in heat, light and highly acidic mediums (keep this in mind with your recipes).

We recommend immediately covering your confections (cakes and cookies) once the designs are complete. Do not attempt to leave them in natural or UV light for an extended period of time as this may result in color fading.

Please be advised: We are unable to guarantee consistent performance in all recipes, mediums and circumstances. All sales are final on all products we produce, that will not change with our new Natural Colors.

* We are unable to offer refunds or replacements under any circumstances.

When purchasing our new Natural Colors, you are taking a chance that they will work for your medium and process. We have done our best to demonstrate their performance in royal icing and buttercream, but all other mediums need to be tested independently and at your own discretion. It is our recommendation, before using these colors on orders, to TEST THEM THOROUGHLY.

These are natural botanicals, made with living plant extracts, it is important to ensure that the bottle is properly sealed after every use and the open container stored in a temperature controlled environment - preferably in refrigeration. This will help in longevity and prevent oxidation of the pigments.

All policies around natural colors are now included under Terms of Service - which you can find HERE. By purchasing these natural colors, you are understanding all sales are final and testing will be dependent on your own processes.
