Hi! My friend is having a wedding show next month and asked me to make her cake. I am very (i'd like to stress that... icon_eek.gif ) new at this. What colors should I mix to get pool, which is the color of her bridesmaid dresses? I'll attach a picture so you can see the color. Thanks so much! Any help would be appreciated!

I used a bit of Wilton royal blue to get the color blue on this cake.

You can also try a bit Wilton Cornflower blue and a tiny tiny bit of Wilton Royal blue.

Once you achieve the base color, you can then apply luster dust to get that pool watery/shimmer which is also in the dress.
