Jimmies are the long rod shapes multi-colored confectioneries. They are often used to decorate ice cream but can also be used in baking.

Help, my cake batter extract made my frosting yellow!

Some cake batter extracts can be a little on the yellow-ish side which in turn will turn your frosting yellow. If you don’t mind that you can skip this but if that’s not something you’re looking for, you can always add a tiny bit of violet food coloring (a little goes a long way trust me!) and whip the frosting again.

The violet color will tone down the yellow and make the frosting a lot lighter. So if you run into this issue you’ll know what to do!
