Mom Tips

If you want, you can dye the cover in the color of your choice with gel coloring.

To obtain colored grated coconut, dye portions of coconut with dye of the desired color. Place a portion of grated coconut inside a plastic bag, add drops of coloring, close the bag and shake it. Do one color at a time. Place the dyed coconut, spread over baking paper. Once dry, you can mix all the colors.

The frosting allows you to use a bag with a pastry tip.
