Back in July I made an American Flag cake, you know the one that when you cut it open there is a flag inside?  When I made the cake batter I divided it so that I could use icing color to make the batters red and blue respectively.  The look of the cake was great, but the flavor...oh my gosh ...nasty!    So, here I am, with an order to make an American Flag cake and I don't know how to get blue and red without "dying" the batter.  I'm pretty sure I used Americolor the last time, if that matters.

Any ideas will be highly appreciated!

Thanks,
Christina

I've made a rainbow cake with really bright colors and they didn't taste nasty at all.  I used Wilton gel colors.

I agree w/sandra...unless you W A Y over colored it there should not be such a bad taste.  Maybe somehow you skipped an ingredient or otherwise flubbed the recipe?

Use red velvet for the red and don't put so much blue in the blue batter.
