- Continue to mix until white and stiff with peaks for about 5-7 minutes.
- Scoop some icing into a bowl and add in your pink food coloring and mix until combined.
- Scoop the pink icing into a piping bag and place into the fridge to use later.
- Scoop some white icing into another piping bag.
- Add in 3 tbsp of water into the remaining icing and mix until combined and then pour the icing into the squeeze bottle.
Cookie Decoration
