Here’s where the fun comes in. Everybody has a new name for colors…so when in doubt, ask the customer to bring you a sample of the color, particularly for wedding cakes.

Is it Peach, Salmon, Apricot or else Pale Orange? They are all pink and yellow but depending on your ratios and intensity they all have slight differences. A handy suggestion for you on blending subtle shade differences, similar to peach, is to start with a bowl of light pink frosting. Now dip the spatula in and remove a little icing, now put a few drops of yellow on the spatula and mix it into the bowl. It is usually simpler to include a bit over it is to take a bit out! Through putting your drops on your spatula, you will not by accident place excessive in the bowl. Food Colors can be bought in shops that sell Bakery Supplies.

Intense pink + a little yellow = Salmon
Light yellow + a bit pink = apricot
Intense pink + intense yellow = orange

Attempting to get a good “watermelon” color? Because of the characteristics of food color, no quantity of pink will get you there. But try a pale red…it really works superbly. Extreme yellow with 5 or 6 drops of brown will get a gold shade. Add a drop of pink if you want to warm it up. Start with white frosting, a drop otherwise 2 of brown, a few drops of yellow to have an ivory color.

Greens change with the seasons. For spring green, add a bit yellow. For summer time green, try it straight out of the bottle. For late summer, insert a little blue. For neon green, begin with brilliant yellow and then add blue. In autumn, add pink or brown to the green or else try striping your bag. Variegate leaves with red, orange, yellow, gold or brown. Should you are searhing for a just-right powder blue, begin with pale blue and put in a few drops of lavender. Or to have those dusty “country” colors, try adding a drop or 2 of brown to the pink or blue.

If you combine red Liqua-Gel and green Liqua-Gel, depending on the ratios, you will get either brown or an extreme mauve. Due to nature of food color, burgundy is kind of hard to generate there from here. If you start with red and put in black or brown, you’re more prone to get a brick red. Burgundy is best to buy already mixed. If you do get a good shade, be careful that you have not utilized a lot of color that whoever eats your cake may have burgundy teeth! It’s fun to experiment, though. Keep in mind, to getting a more extreme color, try airbrushing on top of colored roses rather than blending the color throughout the icing.

Yellow from the bottle is really a really good lemon yellow, but you can warm it up using a drop of pink for a more buttercup yellow. Or you should buy commercially prepared “egg” shade yellow. To obtain neon yellow, start using a bright yellow & put in a drop or 2 of green.
