Coloring Tips
Ready to make your lemon meringue pie shine? Here are a few ideas!
• Lemon Yellow: For the filling, a bright, sunny yellow is a must! You can even try using two shades of yellow for a little depth.
• Cloudy Meringue: The meringue on top is often white, but you can add subtle hints of very light cream, pale pink, or even a tiny bit of light brown at the peaks to show where it might have been toasted.
• Golden Crust: Don't forget the crust! A lovely golden brown or a light tan will make it look perfectly baked.
• Shadow Play: If you're feeling adventurous, try adding a very light gray or blue shadow underneath the slice to make it pop off the page!
• Background Fun: What kind of plate is your pie on? A patterned plate or a simple solid color can add an extra touch to your masterpiece.
