I am not sure if I spelled that correctly but I was just wondering if anyone out there has any information on what colors to use to make a good camoflage(?) I would like it to be several shades of green if possible ..thanks for any help ..
If doing a green type of camo, I use Wilton's moss green, black and 2 shades of brown; making one lighter and one darker.... I just did a sculpted jeep cake for a groom's cake and the groom had been to Iraq. They wanted the beige color camo.. so I did ivory, and 3 shades of browns from beige, to medium to a bit darker brown... hope this helps!
You may want to try using the color mist sprays. I made a small camo cake using them and it turned out great! Just frost it as you normally would and let it dry, then spray on the green, brown, and black. I like this because it lets you make camo shapes, if you know what I mean. You could also do this on fondant.
Good luck!
Puzzlegut,
If you want to do a camo cake but smooth it is really pretty easy. You just need to pipe on (with the star tip) you camo colors that you have chosen. You need to pipe each color just a little bit apart, so that there is no color touching another color. Then, you wait for it to crust over and use the viva method to smooth it. The spaces between the camo colors will fill in when smoothed. Does that makes sense? Kinda hard for me to explain.
I just did a camo cake for my son-in-law which he loved.
I started with choc frosting ,added green for one. It made a very dark green. White plus juniper green for another. Chocolate frosting straight for another. White frosting plus a little brown for tan. Chocolate frosting plus a little black for an icky gray for another.
Wish I had known about the smoothing technique. I did it all in star tip.
