I made my own birthday cake when I was nine. I was doing a good job until one of my teenaged brothers came in. I wanted pale blue frosting, but by the time my brother got done, it was a really horrible greenish blue.
But it was my cake, and I was proud of it. I ended up eating most of it. I don’t think my brother even remembers....
I discovered in college that green food dye in corn bread will slow down a little how fast your room mates will eat the corn bread. Red didn’t work as well.
