Steps:
- Place coconut into a ziploc and add a few drops of food coloring. You want to use a different ziploc bag for each color that you are making.
- Close the bag well after your food coloring and coconut are in the bag. You want to make sure that you are closing the bag tightly.
- I have learned the hard way what happens when you think you have zipped the bag all the way, and it isn't. It is a HUGE mess to clean up when dyed coconut goes flying across the kitchen.
- Mix it up, then add food coloring a few drops at a time and mix well until you have the desired color you want for your coconut.
- Pour colored coconut on a baking sheet and let it dry for a few minutes. Use as you would normally use your coconut in your desserts.

COLORED COCONUT FLAKES
There are endless uses for this decorative topping... It's fun to put around individual servings of fruit salad or ambrosia. At Easter, I made a cake in the shape of an egg, and used the colored coconut flakes as "Easter grass" around the cake. I've also made carrot cake in the shape of a carrot, and used green coconut flakes to make a decorative pretend carrot top. You can also make a "fluffy" or "furry" cake by putting the colored flakes on top of the cake's frosting. I'm sure you'll think of many more ways to use it!

Steps:
- Put the coconut in a ziploc bag.
- Dissolve a few drops of food coloring in the teaspoon of water, then pour this colored solution over the coconut in the bag.
- Seal the bag and shake until all coconut is uniformly colored.
- Tip: if you make primary colors first, you can use any leftover of that color to make a secondary color (e.g., if you have leftover yellow coconut, add red to make orange).

SWEETENED COCONUT FLAKES
My daughter was preparing to made Paula Deen's Jamie's Coconut Cake for my Father's 74th birthday -- coconut cake is his favorite! We only had unsweetened coconut. (We try to use only organic ingredients, and couldn't find any organic sweetened coconut). We tried this, and it turned out wonderfully.
