Wilton actually has a Terra Cotta color, but if you want to do it with what you have, mix orange with a little brown. Can also add a little red depending what shade of terra cotta you want. If you dont have orange, you can make that by mixing red and yellow together, then add brown.

I have found that the Wilton Copper color also makes a great Terra Cotta color. The Wilton Terra Cotta seems a bit too red for my taste. The primroses on my brown basketweave cake were done in different shades of copper.

Americolor has the best shade of Terra Cotta.

I have also mixed orange with brown for my first basketball...then I discovered Americolor Terra Cotta thumbs_up.gif .
