Ingredients

  • 1 cup of all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup of table salt
  • 1 cup water warm water
  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 2-3 drops of red food coloring
  • 2-3 drops of blue food coloring
  • 1 packet of cotton candy frosting flavoring (sold in the baking supply aisle, about $1 each)

Instructions

  1. In your mixing bowl, mix the flour, salt, water, oil, and cream of tartar. Mix well until a soft dough begins to form.
  2. Check the texture of your dough. If it is too sticky, add a little flour. If it is too dry, add a little more oil.
  3. Divide the dough in half so you have two separate portions of it.
  4. To the first half, add 2-3 drops of red food coloring to your dough and knead well. Continue to knead until the color is well dispersed.
  5. To the second half, add 2-3 drops of blue food coloring to your dough and knead well. To this portion, you will also add the packet of cotton candy frosting flavoring. Continue to knead until the color is well dispersed.
  6. Roll each set of dough into a ball and then sprinkle well with the crafting glitter.
  7. You can now roll the two dough balls together to form the pink and blue swirl shape.
