Colours must look so funny to your americans out there- anywho... Because you guys are all so wonderfully friendly... I need some advice. I want to do this cake

but in a purple theme!
So, base of fondant will be lilac... but do you think dark purple, white and ??? I need one more colour for accents up the side! What do you think works? Another shade of purple? Or will that be too purple?

Hmmm... Thanks! [/url]

If you want purple then very pale purple base cake and different shades of purple of accents.
I like purple and lime green or pink.

I've always thought yellow goes well with purple, but it really depends on the design.. It doesn't always work.

Gold also looks good with it.. like metallic gold, not golden yellow.


Of course, I am a bit odd, so maybe you should throw some swatches side by side and see what looks best. icon_smile.gif
