I am making a 2 tier version of this cake and I wondered if any of u know the best way of making this colour I'm not sure if it's pink with a bit of yellow, purple or brown!! Or if there's a colour paste/paste just like it!! Thanx

There's a Wilton color paste that's very similar to that color. I think it's called Dusty Rose. http://www.hostesspro.co.za/3186-thickbox_default/gel-food-colouring-xmas-red-25ml-.jpg

dang they make everything now -- oh the good old days when we mixed everything from the basics Not! hahahaha

anyhow -- it's pink + brown

and of course to hold that pale pink without it going coral you need stark white icing --

best to you

Thanx so much both of u!! Helps a lot xx

and I should say it's often the case where you want to add colored icing to white icing to make your pale shades or when you just want add a touch of color kwim -- if it's already diluted in a small amount of icing it can be the best way to add a tiny amount--

best to you

Thanx so much!! I'm normally pretty good with mixing colours but this one has baffled me!! I don't want it ending up a yucky dull colour!!
