While I was colouring some cake frosting yesterday I made a bit of a mess. The red food colouring went everywhere and as the deep scarlet seeped into my skin I had a revelation.

Halloween hands

Positives,

It doesn’t come off. After washing your hands a couple of times you can plunge into the finger food without a care in the world.

Negatives,

It doesn’t come off. If you have you have an important interview, or are meeting the in-laws for the first time the next day, maybe, steer clear.

If you want to give it a go, then simply soak your fingers tips in food colouring for a few seconds and then wash of the excess, use an old towel to dry your hands on as on the first couple of washes some colour will come off, and be careful not to get it on your clothes.

Now go make a bloody mess.
