Oh yeah, I meant to say I was gonna get pink colouring but they didn't have any, nearly got red but thought **** it, I'm a bloke, I'm having blue! 
I used raspberry jam instead of apricot, chuffing rebel I am!
Marzipan is surprisingly hard to roll and then get off the board, hence it's a bit rough...first attempt though so I'm chuffed

Bob. The idea of food colouring is that you buy a bottle and add a few drops at a time to get the colour you want. So. If you had bought the RED colouring, you just add a tiny drop to get pink. Or pale blue instead of indigo when using blue!

I did kinda figure that a little bit of red would go pink but like I said, I'm a bloke, I want blue...not only that but I'm a bloke on my own, will please myself, if I want a blue cake, I'll have a blue cake! 
Yes it was food dye, yes it did take about half a bottle, no it doesn't taste very good!
Any suggestions for my next creation?
PS, here's the recipe I used, clearly stating pink food dye BBC - Food - Recipes - Battenberg cake

wow! what a fabulous thing to make. I think you should give public recognition to the person who enabled you to make such an oustanding work of art..but then again judging by the amount of blue food dye used, perhaps you shouldnt
