It was a mixture of tonic water (quinine) and piping gel that was used on the food network challenge

it is tonic water that makes frosting "glow" blue in a black light. just dont add too much cause its bitter. one recipe i found is 1c. shortening  1 tsp clear vanilla extract, 6cups. powder sugar, 3/4 c. tonic water. if you color the frosting you wont see any other color under the black light but blue

There is a difference between Glow in the Dark and Black Light Reactive.

 

Check the FDA color list if there are any doubts.

 

Many Food Items are Black Light reacitve - such as tonic water.... and easy to determine if you have a hand-held UV bulb.

 

As far as the green glow in the dark - I highly doubt it is FDA.

 

I'm an experienced body painter - and DO NOT advise using body paint as a food color.

Non-Toxic vs Cosmetic vs Food are different category of pigment.
