While you might not have quite as much sourdough starter sitting around the kitchen as you did in 2020 (when making a loaf from scratch was the ultimate quarantine hobby), maybe it’s time to reignite your long-lost bread baking passion. And no, this isn’t just nostalgia talking.
The internet has stepped it up a notch since the pandemic. Enter: painted bread, which is exactly what it sounds like. Social media creator Allison Loveall's (@lovealldesignco) watercolor-inspired carb canvases have gone viral on Instagram and TikTok—some of her videos have received millions of views.

The trend, which has acquired over 32.6 million views on the hashtag #paintedsourdough on TikTok, consists of turning your homemade bread into a work of art—but you can actually eat it. That means you use edible tools to create your masterpiece; Loveall herself uses edible gel food coloring for her floral designs.
“I love sourdough, and baking and it is definitely a fun hobby of mine,” she wrote on Instagram. “I never knew that combining my artistic skills with bread making would lead to such a hit.” Loveall, who runs her own design business, has accumulated 142,000 followers on Instagram and over 214,000 on TikTok.
First and foremost, you need bread dough. Whether you want to whip up a batch of sourdough from scratch or purchase pre-made dough for an easier process is up to you. Next, Loveall recommends using white food gel from Chef Master and Wilton’s food coloring gel for the painting process. While Wilton’s is her brand of choice for creating the different “paint” colors, the white food gel is what brightens those hues and helps them show up on the bread.
