Instructions

1. Place about 2/3 of the frosting in a small bowl. Add food coloring until you get your desired color. I used 5 drops, but you may want to use more or less based on your personal preference. Less dye is better because too much dye may affect the taste of the frosting. Use a spoon to stir the coloring and frosting together until no streaks remain.
2. Place red frosting in a piping bag, and cut the tip off so that you have a large hole. Put aside.
3. Fill  a second piping bag with all but 1 tablespoon of white frosting, and  cut a large hole. Put aside.
4. Fill the third piping bag with the final 1 tablespoon of white frosting, and cut a very small hole at the tip. Put aside.
5. Take the LARGE bag of WHITE frosting and make the base layer. I used a spoon to level it off a bit, but you can skip this step if you’d like.
6. Next, take the RED bag of frosting and spiral it up to make a shape of a hat. Finally, use the small bag of fosting to create a small  “cotton ball” at the top of the hat.
