purple food coloring?

Michael's? They have a lot of different colors. Wilton's brand.

I don't think so.. I am doing purple and really they just don't make it because it is more practical to sell blue and red.. because it gives you multiple options. If you do find it though.... Let me know : )

Ive looked at michaels and jo anns...and they dont sell in actual liquid food coloring, just gels or a paste type thing (which was the wiltons brand so probably what youve seen, it was hard to tell what it was so we asked an associate)

Rachel-yeah, Im thinking thats the only option...but I figured if anyone would know of where I could get some-it would be someone on these threads!

The ones in the link are basically liquid, I believe if you add a bit to water it would give you the effect you are looking for. I use them to color my fondant. They arent super duper runny but they are definitely not the gel ones either, they might be just what you need if you can find em.

But good luck in your search . I hate when you know exactly what you need but can't find it.

I have some! lol. i bought it at the grocery store. its in the "neon" colors box.

Also, they might sell some around halloween since purple is usually a halloween color

Ahh...thanks ladies. lynley, that would be perfect if I could find it! ive looked in a few grocery stores and just see the normal colors...but around halloween might be a good idea.

If you buy food coloring it tells you on the back of the box how to make purple... it's really not that much of a hassle...

If its in the "neon" box thats from the brand Mccormick. You can make dyed water with paste dyes. Just use a toothpick and add to water until the color is what you want. I use paste dyes to dye easter eggs that way. If you have a confectionary shop (cake making) near they might have liquid dyes in purple too or powder dyes.

I know how to make purple food coloring by mixing colors...but Im considering using it for my water in my centerpieces for my 20 or so tables that the venue would be setting up...Id rather make it as easy as possible on them as possible.

shdvl-is that something I could make up ahead of time and just have it a little container?

Probally I dye the water I add to buttercream frosting before I add it. I think I have a purple you want me to test making a darker concentrate and adding it later to water? All my colors are the wilton colors you can buy almost anywhere.

Try a bakery. Im a bakery manager and Ive sold lots of things to customers from our books. Although my company makes us bump up the price some. Id use air brush color. Its a large bottle and its not the gel thats used for coloring frosting! Goodluck!
