Black gel food color Waxed paper Piping bags Small round piping tips (optional) Large star piping tip 6-inch round cake covered in soft pink buttercream, chilled Dark gray or silver sugar pearls Assorted pink sprinkles and pearls PREP YOUR SUPPLIES Cut tiny 1 to 2-inch squares of waxed paper. Tint about a cup each of buttercream with the soft pink, fuchsia, and burgundy gel colors. Using piping tips is entirely optional, but I feel they make the job a little easier. Fill bags with small round tips (or just cut small openings) with the burgundy and soft pink. Fill a bag with a slightly larger round tip (or just cut it) with fuchsia. Tint 2 to 3 cups of buttercream dark gray and fill a bag fitted with a large star tip.
