It kindof looks brown/chocolate to me. Since you mentioned that you are practicing your roses, why not go ahead and use it. You never know, they may end up being the prettiest roses ever icon_lol.gif

LOL!!! I've done that a bunch of times!!! Just use it anyway if it's just for practice! you could frost a whole cake with that color and do all of the decorating in that color. It will look like you did it on purpose.

it's like a pinky-orangey-tan color. i frosted the cake white already. i really don't like this color, it's pretty hideous. i was hoping i could add something else to it to make a different color.

i send all my cakes to work with dh, so i really want it to look halfway decent, as i may get some order leads from his work friends.

maybe just add some cocoa and make it chocolate brown. That would be pretty on a white cake!
