Why we love Tiffany Blue Frosting Recipe 

We love Tiffany Blue that color we all know as Tiffany’s… it’s timeless, classic, and lovely. Obviously you can see by all the years it’s been apart of our site logo’s that we quite love Tiffany Blue.

Our LOVE of Tiffany Blue runs deep… Breakfast at Tiffany’s was a favorite movie of mine (Ruthie) all through my growing up years! And it still is. Every now & again I pull it out and re-watch it just to fall in love with Audrey Hepburns spunky role as Holly Golightly all over again!

Breakfast at Tiffany’s was produced during Hollywood’s Golden Age in 1961 and one of Audrey’s most memorable films.

Tutorial for Tiffany Blue Frosting Recipe

Wilton Teal Aqua Color Gel and toothpick to scoop; it stains very easily so be careful!

A quick example of what one toothpick scoop looks like.
