I am trying to make the GI Joe cake and I have the face plate. Now I need to tint some frosting for the rest of his skin. I have brown, buttercup yellow, ornage and lemon yellow. Can I use a mixture of any of these to make a good skin color?? Please help. Thanks.

Did you try just a touch of brown?

i would do that too and maybe add just a touch of buttercup yellow. i think there is a color guide here or on the wilton site if i'm not mistaken.

i would use a touch of brown with a touch of orange. VERY little orange, you don't want him to look like he got a bad tan out of a bottle
