Where do you use the pink food coloring? I don’t see it in the instructions.
You are right!! You can use the pink food coloring if the cake and frosting don’t come out to the level of “pinkness” that you desire – just add a small amount and mix it in.
Perfect but I can’t use the melts due to allergy. Can I melt frosting and use that for the green outer coating instead?
