I am trying to tint some BC to a skin tone color....what tints should I add? I have no clue! Brown, orange? I am trying to do a face on a character pan and have no clue how to get her skin tone right.

Thanks!

I bought flesh tone coloring! LOL That solved the problem (you can see it on my Great Pumpkin FBCT photo).

If that's not available to you, I've heard people say to use a pinch of Peach to get flesh (caucasian) color.

Wilton has an ivory.

I've used a tiny touch of Wilton's Copper to make effective skin tones in the past.

I also use a tiny bit of copper to get a realistic skin tone.

I like to use the wilton dora food coloring bos set because depending on how much you add you can get a peach tone or a darker mocha brown tone.

I like to use Wilton Strawberry Shortcake's copper skin tone, it really gives a very realistic color.

Which character are you creating? Skin tone is difficult to determine, because there are so many different skin tones!

I did my very first Mickey Mouse chara. cake ...and I also had questions...I was told to use...Pink with a hint of Brown...and this is what my cake looked like.
