Powdered Sugar Measurements...I decided to make the carrot cake

Out of food coloring...added beet
juice. Thought I had food coloring here in my okie house, but haven't been here for 4 months, of course I'm drinking beer and cooking, so I can't go to the store. And I wanted to write Happy Birthday on the cake, with my thingy thang. So I put cinnamon and beet juice in the frosting, and left the frosting I'm writing with white. Beets historically were grown for sugar in Colorado, from I think the 1860s. Anyways. The beet juice made the cream cheese frosting a very interesting good flavor.

You can't beat beets! So very versatile! Oh so added to the flavor
My friend I made this for was so needing this. As in she is very ill. I couldn't believe I left my food colorings at that captain's house, but I did, 4 months later, I don't know, just wanted to write happy birthday,so beets beat it! ROFL!

Kendall please tell me more about the beet juice, like how did you extract
it? I have been wanting to try a red velvet cake with beet juice but all the reviews I have read have not been favorable. However, a restaurant here in Old Town Alexandria makes it and it is wonderful, but they don't share the recipe. Any info would be appreciated!

Thanks. I tend to forget about canned beets. Actually like them a lot.
We had one of Larry's former students and her Russian mother stay with us one Christmas. The daughter wanted her mom to make borscht for us and so Larry drove them all over the county looking for fresh beets to roast.
Then we got home and she opened our pantry and there were several cans of beets. I was browbeaten in quasi-English for wasting money on fresh beets when canned were just as good.
