Cake Disaster (and Food Coloring Too!)!!

So on Friday I made a cake to take to a friend's house the next night....it was a disaster....not only did it fall apart (for a number of reasons that I won't go into) but the color turned out less like pastel yellow and more like neon yellow!!

To make matters even better, Ethan somehow got a hold of the yellow food coloring and got it all over his hands and cheek!!
