Juicy colour

A photo of the juice I was drinking today at work. I totally did not expect this colour to come out of the green and yellow tetrapak. It looked quite beautiful under the fluorescent lighting. The picture doesn’t really do it justice.
Adventures in food colouring

What follows is a photo-documentary of my attempt to make black icing the colour of my cat’s fur for a cake.
The actual result was not black, but a cold, dark violet, which, against the white and chocolate icing, and in tungsten lighting, could still trick the eye into seeing black. I mixed almost all of the red, blue and green colouring into the vanilla icing, but only added a touch of yellow, seeing that it did nothing to darken the mixture.
The final result: Unfortunately, I ended up using most of the colouring, which thinned the consistency and produced runny icing, that could only be contained by an outline of the thicker white.
