Icing For A Kids B'day Cake!

[Rouge]

My icing is 200gms butter 200gms icing sugar and 1 tsp vanilla

Beat the butter till soft (I use unsalted) and pale, then add icing sugar and vanilla, mix on low to combine then on high till pale. You can then divide up how you like and add colourings.

Goodluck

Christy, I'm fascinated by the beetroot concept as I have a friend with food-chemical-sensitive kids and she is the mistress of white and pink (cochineal) food, although she recently discovered she could use turmeric for yellow with no problems.

What sort of beetroot do you use...from a can? Fresh? Fresh but cooked? Dying to know because her kids would be besides themselves with glee if they could have Hot Pink food!
