| Most cake decorators use green food coloring to tint coconut to create the illusion of "grass". Put the shredded coconut in a bag, add a few drops of green food coloring, and mix it up in the bag. Don't "moosh" it too much or you'll break down the coconut, but that's the way it's done. |

| thats a great idea but the thing is that im not too crazy about using food coloring on the cake. I mean maybe if i do that but keep the grass kinda separated that might work right? also, where can i buy that coconut stuff? is there a specific name or something?? ( sorry im so lost wen it comes to shopping for food)

| You can get the shredded coconut on the same isle that you get your baking stuff - cake mixes, cookie stuff, etc. It'll come either canned or bagged - usually sweetened. An alternative would be to get some dark leafy vegetable, like maybe kale or even Romaine lettuce, trim all the stems and veins out, then cut the leaves into thin strips to look like grass. |

| This might give you the idea. I know Del Monte sells them in a small can. They may be called "French cut". The bean is cut lengthwise several times. So yes, the slicing is done for you! http://www.sacatomato.com/julienne%20%20peeler.jpg Last edited by Lou; 10-13-2008 at 12:30 PM. |

| I'm sorry, that picture is huge. The slices are usually about a 1/4 inch wide though. It would be perfect for your project! |
