Looking for a pink cake recipe, like the cake layer itself is pink.

I cannot use fresh or frozen strawberries. Jello might work. Doesn't matter what flavor it is. It's for a kid's birthday party. Thanks!

Pink Lemonade cake:
(Recipes, hints & tips... If not pink enough, there's always pink food coloring.)

most of the recipes i've seen is not from scratch and i'd really prefer it to be from scratch, it's cheaper for me to do that.

Can I just add pink food color to a yellow cake recipe? I don't think white cake can handle the weight of fondant...

Thanks everyone this is due in a 2 weeks and am getting desperate...

AKA,
White cake can absolutely hold the weight of fondant. I do 80% white cakes..even three tier cakes and they hold the fondant perfectly!
Just use a white cake mix (Same as mixing dry ingredients) and use pink coloring.
I am as a matter of fact making a hot pink two tier pirate cake this weekend covered in fondant.
Good Luck!

Use a red velvet recipe and substitute pink food coloring for the red. I do it all the time.
