    Notes

    Make sure you use a large Bundt cake pan for this recipe.

    Check in several places with the cake tester as the cream cheese might come out a little moist.

    You might need quite a bit of food coloring. I have used as little as 1/2 a teaspoon or as much as one ounce.

    If the frosting is too thick, add a small of amount of heavy cream until you reach the desired consistency. If it is too thin, add a small amount of powdered sugar until you reach the desired consistency.
