They are wanting the cake color to be a bright lime green color, and I didn't know what to use.

A-m-e-r-i-c-o-l-o-r's Electric green will do the job just fine!

(it wold not let me write in the first name there, that is why I did it that way)

I've also used golden yellow, then a touch of green - in case you don't have time to order the other.

Also, in the Wilton's newest annual book, the Spiderman cake I believe has a lime green background-or at least mine turned out lime green icon_lol.gif and it tells what colors to use-I just don't have it handy or I would tell you.

I used Wilton green muss color with a little of yellow. The result is a soft
lime green.

I think you will find that if you write Americolor it will just print it as the link to find it in their store.

I just did lime green on a cake two weeks ago. You start with yellow and then add small amount of green. I used wilton's golden yellow & leaf green but if you can get your hands on some Americolor than that would be the way to go.

when I typed it in, it left the 's and that was it. It made no link for me. It just removed all of the word except for 's. Not sure why it didn't make the link for me??
