Anybody ever color frosting without dye? I'm trying to toss around ideas, though I'm afraid adding mashed berries or something will have a bad effect on the frosting overall. Juice concentrate maybe? Do they sell beet powder? I think that's what they use in the "natural" colored type things we buy. Would like to make pink or lavender frosting for dd's b-day next weekend.
Thanks for any ideas.

I haven't tried these ideas but it might be a place to start:

If you want frosting you can actually decorate a cake with, do NOT use beet juice, or any other liquid for that matter. If you could find beet powder as someone had mentioned, it would probably work, but liquids change the texture of the frosting, and it really won't work on a cake.
We use Dancing Deer natural food coloring which we get at Whole Foods.

They look like the Dancing Deer. I haven't used them--I'm probably allergic to the vegetable dyes. [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/tongue.gif[/img]
