Directions

1.Whisk the milk and flour together in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool to room temperature.
2.Beat the butter and sugar together in a bowl until fluffy. Beat in the vanilla and the milk mixture until smooth. Stir in the food coloring until blended and desired color.
3.Fit a pastry bag with a long, narrow tip and fill halfway with cream filling. Insert the tip into the trimmed cake bottoms and fill each. (Note: Cake will feel heavier in the hand after it is filled.) Use the remaining filling to decorate the tops of each glazed cake.
