Actually, mine turned out great, but almost messed up and used regular food coloring instead of gel coloring. Luckily I caught it in time. Turned out just like picture (except with different colors). Everyone loved it thank you so much!!!!!

I don't bake often but I followed this recipe to the letter and it did not come out looking ANYTHING like the picture.... was very disappointed... to get the vibrant colors seen in the picture you have to use an ENORMOUS amount of food coloring - more than one tube - at least two tubes of each color. Tasted good but the colors were all wrong.... it was orange and green at best. Fun idea though.
