I am making a baby for the top of a cake out of MMF, I looked today and I could not find a flesh colored tint, should I use a combo of tints I already have? Any help would be appreciated.

I use a peach color- you could probably use one of many colors depending on what flesh tone you want - and I'm sure you could mix other colors to get a flesh tone also. It doesn't take much though so use a little at a time - especially for skin.

I've used a little bit of orange and it works well for the "fair skin" look.

I start with americolor ivory with a tiny touch of brown. Then just keep adding brown to get the skin tone I need.

well, I used a little brown first then decided a little red would give it a pinky glow, bad idea, it turned completely pink. so I mixed a chunk of the pink with a lot more white and then added a little more brown. I am ready to say close enough...babies are quite pink when they are born anyway!
