Ingredients

8 teaspoons milk 

1 liquid paste color 

2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar 

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter 

Preparation

Place the milk in a small bowl, and stir in the liquid paste color; set aside. Place 1 cup confectioners’ sugar in a medium bowl, and set aside.

In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Remove pan from heat, and immediately pour butter into the bowl with the sugar. Add 4 teaspoons colored milk, and whisk until smooth. Glaze three of the cakes; the mixture should be just thin enough so that it runs down the sides of the cake.

Repeat the second step to glaze the remaining three egg cakes.
