Here I am frustrated and sick trying to please my sister and use a less sweet whipped frosting for her son's elmo cake. The problem is whiipped icing doesn't take color well as I am learning. So.. do I go add more color to it (already used 1 bottle of wilton red red) and possibly use the spray can of food color red or make buttercream and tell her tough luck? Either way I gotta run to the store to get more ingrediants.

What would you do?

Try using dream whip BC icing, light and fluffy, not to sweet and its BC so it colours really well

I've already got this icing made and partially colored. If I make more, it will be regular bc b/c i'm running of time, energy and patience.
