Thanks so much for the link. I will have to try it! If it doesn't work for me I'm just considering forgoing RV on my menu. I can't bring myself to make it with the dye again. I tried it once and I was so squicked out when I had to add all of that artificial coloring. It's one thing to add some to color fondant but grief, that was a A LOT of red. Also, it's not the most..uh...digestible substance, IYKWIM.
I don't care for the red food color, either, and developed a red velvet cake using red nut liqueur http://bakingfix.com/thefix/?p=5014. This liqueur has a wonderful flavor and I now use it in several recipes.
