I would just go with the food coloring because the coulis makes the frosting a little lumpy. Happy baking!

The icing was insanely good, btw did you mix some of the coulis in to make it pink? Unfortunately, I screwed something up with the cake portion, they were flat and dense. I think I didn't whip the egg whites enough (should they be whipped until peaks?) Despite my errors, the end result was a big hit at the baby shower!

It wouldn't be the worst thing to leave it out, but I also think it won't be as good without it. Let me know how it goes! Hi Julie: It is pretty subtle, especially once a part of the finished cake.

I'm not particularly fond of the flavor (esp. if it dominates), so I am wondering what you think about leaving it out?
