TIP #2: If your frosting is too thin, cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours, or let stand at room temperature 5 to 6 hours or until thickness of cake batter. TIP #3: For colored frostings, stir food coloring into vanilla frost- ing after microwaving. Both liquid drops and paste can be used. Liquid food coloring will give a pastel color to the frosting.

For paste, start with a small amount, stirring after each addition.A little goes a long way. 7 Make, bake and frost a warm cakein just one hour. TIP #4: To add nuts, coconut or mini chocolate chips, after microwaving andstirring, pour frosting immediately into small bowl. Stir in up to 1/3 cup of ingredients.
