The bright blue cupcake is a gift that keeps on giving. Klara threw it up all over the sofa, my pants, and her dress. It’s not surprising because I’m not sure even I’d be able to keep down something this aggressively colored. Something tells me we are not the only family in town who wants to strangle the blue cupcake parents.

Blue food is creepy. There’s no food in the world that is naturally blue.

Especially vivid electric blue. How it occurs to people to bring it as a treat for toddlers I will never understand.

So no red velvet cupcakes for either of you.

I hate red velvet desserts, actually.

I figured as much. Especially if you’re sensitive to artificial dye which abounds in red velvet anything. (Supposedly you can use beet juice for color, but I’ve never encountered this.)
Also: no rainbow bread, which looks like goddamn Playdoh. (There was always a kid who’d eat it along with the paste.)

I never even heard of rainbow bread. And I’m not sorry I didn’t.

Isn’t red velvet cake supposed to be red because of a chemical reaction with the cocoa powder?? I assumed the VERY red ones must be food dye, but not the others? It’s not a “delicacy” we have in the UK…
