brown i would assume??? i'm just afraid of making it tooooo dark. lol i am making a cake for my work/military Dining Facility for thankgiving and didnt' want stark white, just an offwhitish color. THANKS!!!!

I use Wilton Ivory gel color.

wilton has an ivory color.. hth

I either buy Ivory fondant or add Ivory color.

If you don't have/can't get ivory yes, the teeny, tinest touch of brown can work. Remember you can always add more color but it is hard to take it away
I suggest you take out about a cup & color that keeping track of how much you use. Then mix that into your full batch you are using.

Yea everytime I add brown, no matter how little, I always end up with tan. I've heard some people add a touch more vanilla and it gives it an off white hue but for me... I'm lazy, I just buy ivory fondant

Thanks ladies!!! sorry for the delay, work and no CC... I can't get wilton's ivory here and no time to order ivory color, or fondant since the cake is due Thursday.

Stephaniecakes... you mean the regular vanilla w/ the brownish tint???

and kakeladi, thanks! i will have to try that.

I'm making a Tgiving cake and just don't want a STARK white. but i don't want Brown! LOL THANKS!!
