I am making a cake for a 21st birthday. She asked me to make the cake brown with a deep red or burgundy border and polka dots. She said i can add in one more color for the polka dots...Any ideas?
Is there a way I can make the dots with BC rather than fondant?
Thanks! 
Deep burgundy on brown? The dots won't even show up! Maybe you can do a milk chocolate brown rather than a dark brown. I'd add deep mauve as an accent color. You can do the dots with buttercream if you pipe them on with a fairly large round tip (8 or bigger). Then, after the icing has crusted a bit, gently pat the dots smooth with your finger. If you use a non-crusting icing, pop the cake in the frig or freezer for a few minutes, then, smooth out the dots. Personally, I prefer fondant dots.
I should have clarified what type of brown I was using lol. I was intending on using a lighter brown, like milk chocolate brown just as DianeLM said.
I think the girl meant those big circles you use the cookie cutters with on the fondant. She wanted dots as the border.
I apologize for not wording this better 
So, can you make those circles with BC?
Thanks for your comments!
You can make the circles in a silpad, then frieze them. when they are hard peel them away the silpad and ad to your buttercream
see my photos, the first one is a polka dot cake
I agree with Doug - you need a light color to contrast, even if the brown is a lighter shade. I think white would look good, or even pink (if she likes pink). You could even go with a lighter shade of blue - that always looks nice with reds! ( wouldn't go green because it would look like Christmas!)
blue sounds good. brown, burgundy, and light blue!
