Multi-Color Frosting Technique
"This is more a technique than a recipe. I made this design for my daughter's birthday cake and I thought it looked really cute. You could use seasonal colors for Halloween, Christmas, etc. too."

this is such a cute idea.. i used a flower shaped pan for a 70's groovy party theme.. though i think that a egg shaped pan for easter would be cute too... a tip for getting the frosting super smooth on top for writing.. plastic wrap and smooth with hands (or icing spreader) then pipe a border as usual.. (i used white. I tinted the icing with cool aid packets (and a few drops of water) it was like sweet tart icing.. the kids loved it! thanks Chris!

<p>I live in the Kansas City area and have many hobbies including cooking, reading and spending time with my husband and two children who are very active in sports now. I also have an eBay business which is a fun hobby that makes a little extra money! My interest in cooking focuses on making healthy dishes that are more satisfying than the higher fat and higher sugar versions. If I had a month off with no responsibilities, I would spend it at a luxury spa. <br /> <br /></p>
