It is always okay to use food coloring in frosting. If you're only using one of the main food coloring colors, you really only need one to three drops to get a beautiful color in white frosting. You can also make your own colors by mixing the different colors together. There are equations for mixing on the back of every food coloring box, or online.

Happy Coloring!

Will it hurt your bearded dragon if you dye it with food coloring?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. As long as it is just coloring and no additives, no it won't be a problem. In fact they actually have some special water coloring that can enhance the color of a bearded dragon.

There is a product made specifically for this reason so obviously others have considered the same thing. There are special types of coloring made for dragons specifically that also enhance their color. Although normal food coloring shouldn't hurt them I would recommend a product specifically made for the animal you are planning to use the product on.

Is it safe to put food coloring in your eyeball?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I will strongly advise against it - while food coloring is safe to eat, it may not be properly balanced to avoid irritation or causing infection in your eye.
