Try your hand at some edible watercolor painting with this splendid Watercolor Meringues tutorial from Project Wedding. Using gel food coloring, instead of actual watercolor paints, gives these cookies a delightfully subtle tint.

Make store bought meringues feel like custom treats for guests, with this simple watercolor-inspired DIY. They may look like tiny pieces of art, but they are also completely edible (and delicious). Since this project uses gel food coloring, they’re 100% safe to eat.
