Not being argumentative, just relaying an anecdote. I had an aunt by marriage who had grown up in poverty. As a child she had seen a pretty pink cake pictured in a magazine and longed for one like it as her birthday cake. Seems that her cake was beautiful but tasted of beets! On the other hand, I have used such colorings to dye Easter eggs. AM

My kids react to artificial dye. This stuff works great. DS#1 still talks about his Spiderman Cake I made with beets.

Cool post! I have used onions for yellow dye, etc.../ Have also used blueberries to dye wool, but the color doesn't hold permantly. I hope you don't mind me adding this, because you are talking about natural food colors, but kool-aid is a great dye for wool. Too bad it's not natural.

Some days my brain manages to kick into gear, but I just run out ahead of it.

At any rate, thanks for the information!

Pat:

Good information, thank you! These dyes can be used on Easter eggs, too.

Only the ones made from food.
