I can't get the right color pink! I need my fondant to be hot pink and it's more of a rose pink. I am running on three hours of sleep form the cake I did last night. Someone please save me form my frustation, I don't think my family could take another night of it. Thanks in advance!

You might try a dab of red in the pink you already have. Also, pink's and red's deepen as they set - so it might look "hotter" in the morning.

A tiny bit if purple or violet added to your pink will make it hotter - or even a bit of blue if you haven't got these colours.

Not that I want to send you out and about when you're already running on so little energy, but there are neon colored food colors (McCormick I believe) in local grocery stores here (hopefully where you are too). I suppose that would be a last ditch effort, but at least you have the guarantee of not having to do it over. I did make a neon blue this week by adding an awful lot of blue food coloring and then adding a little yellow to it, which makes me think that the other replies on this site may work. Good luck! I hope it turns out well!

Thank you for hearing my cry for help, the pink does look better but not exactally what I wanted, who knows maybe the color doesn't exist . I'm just glad it's over!! Maybe after all this graduation buisness I can upload my pics of the cake. Thanks again.
