Can I use regular food coloring instead of paste food coloring?
Q. I'm planing on making these adorable santa cookies but the recipe calls for paste food coloring and all I have is the "regular kind" Like the liquid stuff. Can I use that instead of paste food coloring?
Asked by Emily S - Fri Dec 19 18:24:47 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The color won't be as strong, and liquid stuff may make whatever (I'm not sure if you are adding the coloring to the cookie or the icing) you are making softer/looser.

How do I use a gel food coloring like a normal, liquid food coloring for Red Velvet Cupcakes?
Q. I have this recipe for red velvet cupcakes and it says to use 2 oz of red food coloring, but I only have the gel food coloring formula. Does anyone know how to get the gel to mix well with the cocoa powder?? It says the cocoa powder and food coloring should make a thin paste, but with the gel I'm not getting any kind of paste... : (

A. Food coloring is available at the grocery stores in the baking aisles they also carry a 4 pack with red green blue and yellow, some stores especially here in the south carry the 2 oz bottle of red alone because red velvet cakes are so popular down here .At Walmart in the cake decorating aisle they have paste coloring which is much stronger for coloring frostings you would use much less but also a food coloring. with the paste use a toothpick and just a smidgen at a time until you achieve the desired results but if it is liquid like the kind you get in the grocery, you use the entire bottle(2oz) I have never use gel but you can mix the gel with your liquid ingredients like eggs ,milk, vanilla etc

If I add food coloring to cookies, will they taste any different?
Q. I'm making sugar cookies and was wondering if adding red or green food coloring would affect the taste of the cookies.
Asked by wickedblack67 - Sun Dec 10 17:09:22 2006 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments
A. If all you add is coloring, it won't change the taste. It's fun to take one part of the dough and color it red, leave one part white, and color the other part green, then work them together a little bit so they stick together. You'll have very merry cookies that way. (If you over-mix the three colors, however, you'll have a dull brownish blah color.)

Why did the food coloring disappear?
Q. I recently put blue food coloring in one of our display toilets in the showroom of my plumbing shop. It's hooked up to a five gallon tank, and recycles the same water continually (it just exists so we can demonstrate it's flush capabilities). So anyway, I put approximately fifteen drops of food coloring in it to tint the water, and it was a very nice shade of blue. However, the next day, the water was back to normal. What happened?

A. Ordinary shaving cream will take it out, read on: Step1After you are finished using food coloring you may notice major stains on the table, your hands, clothes and maybe even the floor. Don't panic! Pull out ordinary shaving cream, this will do the trick. Step2Due to peroxide and other chemicals in the shaving cream it has the power to wipe out nasty food coloring stains if not fade them. Spray a generous amount over the stain and let sit up to 5 minutes. Step3After the 5 minutes, if the stain was on the table or floor, use a dry cloth and start rubbing away. You will see the food coloring start to fade and then eventually disappear. Step4If the food coloring was set into your hands, wash them with shaving cream and cold water. This… [cont.]

How can I remove food coloring from jeans?
Q. A girl took my friend's red food coloring pen and decided to make a nice blotch on my jeans with it. I evened it out and tried to make it look like a heart so I could survive without questions for the day. I went home and then threw it in the laundry, hoping that it'd come out with a little extra Tide detergent. The laundry is done now, and there's still a pink blob there! Is there any way I can remove this using things I have at home? Any help would be great, thanks!

Follow the directions on the packaging until the stain is gone and don't run them through the dryer until it's gone. Hope that helps.

Mix that in thoroughly and if that's not enough color, add a drop or two more. Don't go crazy because then the icing will have that food coloring taste (I hate that).
