I'm making a strawberry cake tonight, with cream cheese icing. I need bright teal, and lime green. I've never even made cream cheese icing. Does it tint like buttercream? Can I get these colors with it? HOPE SO!
Also, any tips for icing with cream cheese icing? Is it different?

Thanks guys!!!

I tint my cream cheese icing all the time. Adds lots of "visual interest". I use gel/paste colors and a bit extra p.sugar. Haven't done those colors, but I did do a hot pink for Valentine's. It's in my pics.

You can always use buttercream to decorate if you can't get the right colors with cream cheese.

Well I need teal and green for the whole cake, and the rest of the deco is in fondant. . . soooo... hopefully it will turn out good. Ill test it first, if it doesn't come out right ill just do a different color.

I have tinted my cream cheese numerous times. I have noticed that the colors do seem to be brighter/more shiny with cream cheese. The icing seems to pick up the color a little more (at least mine does). I used yellow for a whole cake once.

There are 3 cream cheese icing cakes in my photos if you want to see the coloring that I am talking about. 2 of them are round cakes that say 'Happy Birthday" with dots on them and the other one is white and brown(choc cream cheese) with basketweave with strawberries on top.

oh, I forgot I did this one too..it has some green cream cheese icing on the top for ya:

shadow79: which cream cheese icing are you working with? The reason I ask is that the piping looks wonderful. I use Christeena's cream cheese icing, but I 've never tried piping with it, and wondered
