    Sift flour and soda together. Fold into creamed mixture with honey, mixing well. Cover and chill, 30 minutes.

    Meanwhile, prepare filling by beating egg white with a wooden spoon until frothy. Add icing sugar one spoonful at a time, beating well after each addition. Add butter, stirring until combined. Spoon half the icing into a small bowl and add a few drops of pink colouring. Mix well.
