    when your making salt dough are you better to use food colouring or paint the dough once dried? im planning to do this at the weekend as i didnt have time last week.

    Caz salt dough depends on how strong you want the colour, painting after will give a brighter finish
    Maya gold would be lovely for Christmas truffles because it's got a bit of spice in it too :)
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.
