Out of Food Coloring? |
|
|
 I was making Valentine cupcakes last week and didn't have any food coloring. I went through my leftover Halloween candy and found some bright red candies (Nerds is what I used, but anything super bright will work). I poured the candies into a cup and added about 4 tablespoons of water. Then I heated it in the microwave for 20 seconds to get it warm. I stirred several times until all the food dye melted off the candy. Then I just scooped the white candies out, leaving me with some bright red liquid. I added it to my butter frosting recipe and VOILA! Pink icing!

Kool-Aid powder? I works on clothes rather well.
O.
p.s. I just had a BFO.* Of course, since all these colored foods contain added food dye, the dye itself will work on other applications.
