If I put blue coloring in a yellow cake, will I get a blue or green cake? I forgot to buy white cake mix and my DD wants her her cake to be blue. If anyone one knows, I sure would appreciate it.

i am not a color expert, nor have i ever tried it, but i am pretty sure it would come out green. could you turn your yellow cake mix into a white cake mix by omitting the egg yolks and adding an extra egg white? i would caution against adding pudding or any other flavoring to your mix as they also turn white cake mixes yellow--this i know from experience.

good luck! HTH

I'm not sure either but I also think it would turn green.

This may sound strange but I know you can put a "little" bit of violet into yellow buttercream and it will turn white (not snow white). Maybe you could try that and then color it blue.

bethyboop's suggestion sounds good.
