To make the multicolored topping, divide shredded coconut into a few resealable plastic bags, and shake with a few drops of food coloring (find the specific ratios for each color in the recipe).
Then, cut a strip of parchment about 30 inches long and 3 inches wide. Wrap the parchment around the cake like a collar, leaving 1 inch of frosting exposed around the bottom perimeter of the cake. Pack some of the blue coconut onto the exposed frosting to make your first strip of color. Lift the collar up another 1 inch and do the same with the orange coconut. Remove the collar and fill the remaining inch of frosting with the yellow coconut.
