You will easily get the green color by adding boiled and mashed spinach to the cream or sugar dough to cover the cake. Depending on how much spinach you add, you will get a dark green or light green color.
Brown color is achieved in several ways. You can use cinnamon, which, depending on how much you add, can color the cream or sugar dough in beige or brown.
Cocoa powder is also used to create beige, light brown and dark brown colors. Instant coffee, as well as espresso and ground coffee beans, are also used for this purpose. Caramelized sugar and melted or grated chocolate are also used to create different shades of brown.
The gray color can be easily achieved by using poppy seeds. This results in a gray color with black spots that are everywhere.
The red color is obtained by using boiled or raw beets, which are grated, crushed and filtered through gauze. Beets dye strongly, so prepare this dye with gloves.
With the use of beets, a pink color can also be achieved. Peach color can be obtained with the use of very small doses of curry or paprika.
The orange color is obtained with the use of pumpkin, and yellow and orange - with the help of carrots. The golden color is achieved with small doses of saffron.
