Set aside another 1/2 Cup of frosting in the 2nd bowl and leave this one white. Scoop the orange frosting onto one side of the piping bag. Scoop the white frosting onto the second side of the piping bag and set aside. Beat in the black gel food coloring into the remaining frosting
Decorating Directions :
Using the black frosting, scoop a small amount into the ice cream scooper and place onto the top of the cupcake and spread slightly into a thick disk.
