Notes

While today, I went with the iconic pink icing. You can really use any of the colors of the rainbow that you wish. Some other great colors for copycat versions:
  • Yellow Frosting: Add a couple of drops of lemon juice to the frosting.
  • Birthday Colors: This would make for a great birthday treat. Use the birthday boy/girl's favorite colors.
  • Christmas Colors: Add red and green frosting.
  • Easier: You can do all of the pastel colors.
  • Patriotic Holidays: Patriot Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, use Red/Blue and White Colors.
