We recommend dyeing your pasta around 24 hours before your pasta art activity, to allow it to dry thoroughly.

You will need:

• food dye
• white vinegar
• a plastic bag
• a piece of card (any colour)

Join us as we make a simple, delicious treat – crispy cakes! You can use any type of chocolate, dark, white or milk! Have fun!

After dyeing your pasta, leave it to dry for 24 hours before attempting to create your pasta art!
