My supervisor at work buys everyone a cake from a local supermarket on their birthday. Based upon numerous past experiences, I have convinced them all that red icing is perhaps one of the nastiest-tasting things on the face of the planet. We believe it has something to do with the red colored dye leaving a bitter, chemical aftertaste. Our group has banned red-icing birthday cakes from now to eternity. I was just curious if Connecticut cakes sporting red icing displayed any similar taste nastiness?
