Title: any thoughts on tie dying cheese?
Post by: steffb503 on August 07, 2019, 01:15:26 PM
I live in the town of the Woodstock festival. At the Farmers market that I vend at, we are having a tie dye event in honor of Woodstock's 50th anniversary.
I make a Chevre and a Cream Cheese and would love to tie dyed them for that day.
I have seen it done with frosting and cake but never cheese.
Any ideas as to how and at what stage i would do this?
I tried the cream cheese by simply adding a drop of each color but it ended up looking more like confetti. I really would love a swirl!

Peace Love and cheese!

Hi.  Just an idea but if you look at this Betty Crocker method for tie-dye cupcake icing, could you do something similar by say taking 3 portions of your cream cheese, dying them each a single colour, then putting them into a decorating bag and squeezing it into a container in a swirl? https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/tie-dye-cupcakes/aa9dd3be-c90c-4ce4-bde6-3aaa3bcf655b (https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/tie-dye-cupcakes/aa9dd3be-c90c-4ce4-bde6-3aaa3bcf655b)

The chevre seems more difficult, maybe you could create a colourful "ash" with a swirl on a tabletop and press the top and sides of the finished cheeses into it?

Just thinking out loud, I've never tried any of these things and am a newbie cheesemaker.
