Hi CCers-

For those that have made a basketball cake before...

What colors did you use to get the "basketball color"? Wilton suggests terra cotta and brown. I tried that once and ended up with a reddish brown mess!

TIA!

Melissa

Hmmmm,

I have done a ton of basketballs and have been happy with straight terracotta

ya know, I was wondering when I orginally got the coloring if it may have been a defect/REALLY old because it was really just RED. I wonder if I should try to get another bottle.

I used orange with a little brown added and it looked great.
