🌼 Marigold – Natural Food Color by The Sugar Art
Bold, radiant, and full of warmth — Marigold is a powerful natural yellow inspired by sunlit petals and golden blooms. This richly saturated shade delivers exceptional depth for a natural color, building from a soft buttery yellow to a deep golden tone that gently dances along the edge of orange at its darkest intensities.
Formulated from carefully balanced plant-based pigments, Marigold is part of The Sugar Art’s innovative Natural Food Color Collection — designed to give sugar artists strong, reliable natural color without sacrificing control or consistency. Backed by over 30 years of professional color and confectionery expertise, this shade was developed to perform beautifully across icing applications while maintaining its vibrant warmth.
How do you make gold icing?
Gold icing is a deep, warm yellow rather than a metallic. Build it from a yellow and warm it with a trace of orange or brown, adding in small amounts so it does not turn tan. Marigold is that warm golden yellow already blended. For an actual metallic finish, the gold has to come from a luster dust brushed on after the icing has dried, because no icing color is metallic on its own.
What is Marigold natural food color?
Marigold is a plant-based warm yellow for royal icing, buttercream and fondant. It builds from a soft buttery tone through to a deep gold that edges toward orange at full strength. Sunny is the cleaner, truer yellow of the two. 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.
