food colouring
Tints your frosting
Food colouring is a dye or pigment added to food or drink to change its appearance.
It comes in liquid, gel, paste, or powder form.
Natural food colourings derive from plants, minerals, or insects; artificial ones are synthesized chemically.
Add a few drops of food colouring to the icing.
