The best course of action is just to clea it up ASAP to minimize stains.</p> <p>C's cake had white icing under the fondant and her smash cake was pale pink, so it didnt really stain. </p> <p>I think asking the kids to eat the cake outside is probably best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-there-food-or-frosting-coloring-in-your-childs-birthday-cake#post-816837 Thu, 30 May 2013 06:40:14 +0000 mediagirl 816837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did it stain anything?</p> <p>I am making M's birthday cake and we made a test cake this week. I realize that using black and red frosting coloring might be a bad idea with children running around. My husband showed me his tongue this morning and *it* was stained from the black frosting!</p> <p>Any suggestions on keeping the frosting from getting everywhere? I don't mind if it gets on my lo and I can wash her off before she toddles off to play again. For the other kids, should we ask them to eat their cake outside? :) We are having a backyard bbq... </p>
