What color gel/paste do I use to make ivory color? I need to make some ivory gumpaste and don't know what color to actually use to do that.

Thanks icon_confused.gif

Wilton Ivory gel colour? icon_lol.gif


....or just try adding a few dots of yellow or brown to your white gumpaste (sparingly!!) and you'll get a nice shade of ivory.

Duh (as I slap my hand up against the side of my head)! Thanks. (Guess it's been a harder day than I thought on my regular daytime job.) I wish I could stay home and play with cake all day...I wish...I wish..(tapping my heels 3 times as I say that)..

I've always used just a touch of both brown/chocolate and gold to make ivory and it comes out great.
