Hi,
I am pretty new at this and I am making my first wedding cake 8/4/07.
The Bride is using hot pink and mango for her colors. She wants big swirls, with both colors on all 3 cakes. The hot pink shouldn't be a problem, but how would you get Mango? I am using Wilton colors. Would I get it better with peach or orange? Should I add a hint of other colors to either?
I would appreciate any advice. I want to practice the colors ahead of time to make sure that I reach the correct shade
Thanks,
Cheryl

If she hasn't, make sure she gives you color swatches so you have something to match the color to!

To me the color of mang is a yellowy-orange, so I would start with lemon yellow with a touch of egg yellow and a touch of orange.

I'm not sure what mango colors you have here in the states but since I come from the Philippines, mangoes would be like a golden yellow. Here's a pic for reference:

Thanks everyone, I will try your suggestions. I haven't seen an egg yellow color in the Wilton. Someday, I will try the Americolors, but I am a hobbyist, professional wannabe!!
