How To Make pretty in pink lemonade cake

1PINK LEMONS: Combine water & sugar in small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly until sugar dissolves. Add lemon slices & bring to simmer. Remove from heat & allow syrup & lemon slices to cool completely, about 1 hour. Add kool-aid; stir to combine; let soak, 1 hour or until desired color is achieved. Transfer lemon slices to wire rack to drain, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle both sides of lemon slices with pink decorating sugar.
