? Blue Colored Cakes
Galaxy Mousse Cakes with Mirror Glaze
These galaxy mousse cakes are almost too pretty to eat! They're mini chocolate mousse dome cakes with a brownie base, covered with a gorgeous glossy mirror glaze that’s swirled to look like the galaxy.
The mirror glaze is actually a melted white chocolate glaze made with gelatin that's then poured over the cake. You can ditch homemade and go straight for a boxed brownie mix to save some time and effort when making this elegant dessert.
Gelatin gives the mousse some stability, and is chocolate flavored. These gorgeous blue desserts are delicious to boot - it's like indulging in edible works of art!
Blue Velvet Cake
This is a very impressively blue version of the classic red dessert. Boasting of fluffy layers, delicious cream cheese frosting and best of all, it's colored with natural food dye (with an option for artificial food coloring if that's what you've got).
This blue velvet cake has a wonderful taste and texture; much like a red velvet, it features both vanilla and rich cacao. The fluffy cake is perfectly complemented by the buttery cream cheese frosting, though if you prefer a frosting without butter, you can certainly make that instead.
The beautiful blue hue is from blue matcha powder (butterfly pea or blue ternate power). Don't be put off by the from-scratch recipe because it's very easy to follow the simple steps. If you decide to pick it up from the store, there are many other wonderful things you can do with butterfly pea powder, including a blue matcha latte.
Blue Raspberry Cheesecake
If you're searching for a fun, quick, and easy dessert, this is it! This blue raspberry cheesecake is quick to make and requires only a few simple ingredients. After only 20 minutes of active time, you can relax and just let the fridge do the rest.
Featuring a vibrant blue hue, this tangy cheesecake is full of flavor. Velvety creaminess plus a touch of sweetness come from just a bit of icing sugar, creating a refreshing, flavorful dessert, ideal for the summer. It's a simple, no-fuss treat that both kids and adults will enjoy!
Blueberry Buckle
Blueberries are one of my favorite summer berries; I simply can't get enough! If you love them like I do, you'll enjoy this recipe because the blueberries are the star in this blue dessert recipe.
Featuring a delicious buttery flavor, with juicy berries and a tasty crumble on top, you can enjoy this sweet breakfast treat with a cup of salted coffee, cacao tea, or a glass of chocolate milk tea. This buckle is best enjoyed fresh from the oven, but it’s also easy to warm up to serve for later with ice cream and a pouring of chocolate sauce or homemade gianduja.

??♂️ Frequently Asked Questions
There are several desserts that incorporate the color blue - some popular blue desserts include blueberry pies, blue velvet cake, blueberry cheesecake, blueberry parfaits, and blueberry tarts. Additionally, blueberry ice cream, muffins, and cobbler, as well as blue raspberry sorbet and blue moon ice cream are popular choices.
Blue velvet cake is typically flavored with vanilla and cocoa, similar to a traditional red velvet cake. Like its red counterpart, the blue color is achieved by using food coloring, while the flavor is often a mild, slightly chocolatey taste from the cocoa powder, combined with the sweet complexity of vanilla.
To make blue frosting, begin with a basic white frosting recipe such as buttercream or cream cheese frosting. Once the frosting is prepared, gradually add drops of blue food coloring, stirring well after each addition until your desired shade of blue is achieved. Keep in mind that the color will deepen as the frosting sits, so it's best to start with a lighter shade and adjust as needed.
If your blue dessert turns green, it's either the interaction between the blue food coloring and the air or the ingredients in the dessert. For example, if the dessert contains acidic ingredients such as lemon juice or cream of tartar, the blue food coloring may react with these acids and turn green. Additionally, exposure to light and air can also cause the blue food coloring to oxidize and change color over time. To prevent a blue dessert from turning green, you can try using an oil-based food coloring, adjusting the pH level of the dessert, or storing it in a cool, dark place to minimize color changes.
A natural blue coloring can be derived from blue spirulina extract, blue butterfly pea flower extract, purple sweet potato, or red cabbage, among other food sources. These natural ingredients can be used to create vibrant blue shades without the need for synthetic food coloring - blue spirulina, for example, is a type of algae that contains phycocyanin, a natural blue pigment.
