I am taking a fondant project class (elegant draped wedding cake) and since I have a Halloween party the next day I am making an elegant draped Halloween wedding cake.

The cake itself will be covered in orange fondant with black/white marbelized drapes and black flowers. I have a skelly bride/groom, staircases which will have *attendants* (mummies, witches, vampires, etc...). It will be sitting on pillars on a fondant graveyard. I am trying to dye all the fondant orange today in preparation, I used orange paste color (Wilton) and I have circus peanut colored fondant. I added a little Christmas Red and it got better I thought until hubby walked in and said "nice Circus Peanut"

What color should I add to get this to be Pumpkin Orange? Brown maybe? Or more red?

I would add copper to the orange, as it has an orange tinge to it, and will not compromise the orange base color you are using.
