Ladies -

Do you know of any "natural" food coloring. Stuff that I can substitute for my McCormicks when I'm coloring frosting and icing, or cake? Bright colors would be ideal.

TIA

What can I do next?

I use the India Tree brand colors you can get at Whole Foods or other natural food markets. Just know that when you are using vegetable/fruit based colors you run the risk of having your frosting or cake tast like that particular veggie/fruit (think beets, great at making purple, but too much and you'll have beet tasting frosting).
