This pink velvet cake starts off with a white velvet cake base recipe. This allows you to get a gorgeous clean pink color, as opposed to starting off with a yellow cake using whole eggs - giving you more of an orange color when you add pink to it. Yes you can use a natural pink food coloring, but when the cake layers bake it might change color! The heat and acid in the cake batter can change the color, especially if it has anthocyanins. Food coloring made from beets can change color when baked and especially paired with an acid. All you need are a few piping bags and piping tips. Since I had 3 colors, I used 3 piping bags. A large bag with a large piping tip for the darker pink color (I used a coupler so I could witch out the piping tips easily), a small piping bag with the end cut off for the white frosting, and a small piping bag with a small open star tip for the pale pink frosting.

Just as I have finished the buttercream I carefully press in some rainbow sprinkles to the bottom of the cake for a bit of colour and I just love the design – be warned, sprinkles will fall off at this point so beware!

Milk cannot be used in place of the cream.Whatever look you chose for your pink drip cake, I have two very important tips to ensure you get the look you’re after. Tip #1: Chill Your Cake This cake gets its color from pink gel food coloring, and I also used a touch of red to help create the darker pink piping. Add in a generous squirt of pink gel food coloring.
