I went with strictly food grade modern colors. It was 100 per cent

adding unknown coloring factors.  As it was the dragon darkened
upon cooling anyway. Had I been able to have been there I would have
pulled off the background foil and served it with the light shining through.
It was about and inch thick at the outside border.
