Need ideas for "natural" frosting colors...and QUICK
Okay, so I am making a Larry Boy costume for DS's birthday next weekend (the 30th is the party)...but I need to know how to make purple and green frosting out of natural, but not nasty, ingredients.
Thanks in advance. |

Oh, goodness...I've had some luck with chlorophyll and green. Not sure about the purple!

hmmm. Purple is red and blue. How about raspberries and blueberries? Or beets are always a guaranteed red if the raspberries don't work.

purple...beet juice, concord grape juice, raspberry juice, elderberry juice.. some more pink than purple :think
ooh, good idea to add blueberries! |

Thanks ladies...so, where do I find this chloryphyll? And, is it nasty?
And, blueberries may actually work really well on their own for the purple. :think THey always seem to turn our smoothies purple. Also...any recipes for yummy, but semi-healthy frosting...or is the powdered sugar/butter/milk option my best bet? |

they have some food dyes, too. I haven't tried them, but my kids like the lollipops. :) the natural colors are not going to be as bright & vibrant as the dye ones. What about putting a cut out of Larry boy on the cake with white or chocolate frosting instead? Or a toy of him? |
