TIPS
COLOUR OPTIONS
You can buy icing in different colours, which you can use as they are, or mix together to make more colours. Alternatively you can buy white icing and knead a few drops of food colouring through it. It's a good idea to wear gloves if you're dying the icing yourself as the food colouring can stain your hands.
