You should be able to make frosting from just powdered sugar and
liquid...make sure the sugar doesn't have cornstarch in it, for anyone
with corn allergy...

The colors of both are so intense, that you'd probably need only a few
drops of either's juice to color the frosting, I wouldn't use any water,
just the juice...you might want to try the juice leftover from defrosted
strawberries or raspberries, if no one has a problem with those fruits...
you might even try puree'ing strawberries or raspberries, and then add a
little powdered sugar, to make an icing...
Are there any flavored gelatin mixes with natural colorings? If so, you
might want to try using one of those, just a little bit would do, to
color the sugar...
