Edible Color Wheel, Michael Milam

My project was making an edible color wheel using frosting and vanilla wafers.

Materials:

• Vanilla wafers
• Three cans of white cake frosting
• Red, yellow and blue food coloring
• Plastic or metal butter-knives.  ( I found the plastic ones weren't strong enough to mix the frosting.)
• Small plastic containers to mix with.

Instructions:
 Open your three cans of white frosting and take a portion of each to set aside for later if you need more white.

 Add a bottle of red, yellow and blue to the cans and mix thoroughly. I found that to get a really good hue you should use just about all of the bottle for red and blue, while yellow used roughly half.

 Now start mixing your colors together. You may want to start with the secondary colors and then move on to the intermediate.

I used the color wheel above as a basis for creating my edible wheel.
The picture below is the color wheel in the process of mixing colors together. I mixed a secondary color, applied it and then split it to create the intermediate colors around it.

 Now mix your three primary colors together to get gray.

 And this is the final result!
Eat and enjoy!

Note:
I found that if you aren't making a handful of these you will end up wasting a good amount of frosting. If you want to try this project and are only making one wheel, use maybe one or two cans and split them evenly into three parts. This will more than likely greatly save you in the long run.
