Lol I was banned from r/food a long time ago for commenting on a photo of a “galaxy cake” that all that black food dye would probably taste nasty. It did look cool tho…
Banning you is ridiculous but there is cocoa powder that is nearly black that can be used instead of dye. Also charcoal when used properly won’t impart a bad flavor. So a chocolate buttercream with a touch of charcoal I think could do a galaxy scene without tasting bad. Whether they actually went through all that effort for a social media post though 🤷♀️

psa enjoy charcoal food sparingly and wait as long as possible after consuming before taking medication
Dark roast espresso powder made the black frosting for our gingerbread house taste amazing. If you like espresso anyway.
Why would black dye taste nasty? Squid ink doesn’t have any taste at all, for example.
Squid ink does have a flavor and is used to increase the umami of a dish.
