How do you make pink with food coloring?
Fondant, as you probably know, needs to be kept pliable but not too loose. Adding regular liquid food colouring tends to make the fondant too soft and adding more icing sugar just lightens up the colour. For a good intense "hot pink" you will need to get to your closest supplier of cake decorating supplies and purchase the paste food colour. It comes in a small container (which you should be able to by separately). Mix in a small amount, knead the fondant (use gloves, no one need hot pink hands) and add more food colouring until you reach your desired intensity.
Can you refrigerate fondant alone?
I would suggest that you didn't. Fondant can sweat and it will ruin the consistancy of the cake inside. Fondant alone can be refrigerated. I would suggest that you didn't. Fondant can sweat and it will ruin the consistancy of the cake inside. Fondant alone can be refrigerated.

It has been exposed to air and should be tossed out. The only possible way to use it would be to break it up into a food processor and grind it to use as sugar. But it cannot be softened into usable fondant again.
What is the difference between baking and regular chocolate?
None specifically. The kind of chocolate used for baking should be high in cocoa solids - percentages are usually listed on both baking and eating chocolate. As long as you buy an eating chocolate high in cocoa solids (65% or higher), it will be fine to bake with (assuming no weird "fondant centres" or "caramel chunks" etc...). I think 'baking chocolate' is primarily sold to people who do not bake often, so do not know what to look for when choosing a chocolate variety with which to bake.
How do you make buttercream frosting?
Ingredients:1 cup butter6-7 cups powdered sugar1/4 teaspoons salt6-9 tablespoons milk2 teaspoons vanilla extractCream the butter until fluffy in a large bowl. Add the salt and a bit of the sugar ( a couple spoons should be ok ) and mix again. Keep adding a bit of milk and a bit of sugar and mix until you can't see anymore powder. Add the vanilla extract and mix until light and fluffy.You can put it in the fridge or use it right away. If you have extra frosting left over, you can stick it between to graham crackers or any type of cracker or cookie. It tastes great for that.If you don't have butter, a good substitute is shortening. If you don't have vanilla extract you can use maple syrup or any other type of extract you have such as lemon extract. If you want chocolate frosting, take out the vanilla and use chocolate powder and you could probably use chocolate milk.
Can you put icing under your fondant on a cake?
Yes. Fondant has a very interesting texture and the few times I have had it its been very interesting. The kind i had was almond flavored and was very nice. I see no reason to not eat it unless the baker used the cheap Wilton brand fondant that you can buy from wal mart. That stuff tastes like plastic and I would not recommend eating it.
