Problem With Coloring Fondant... Instead Of Pink ....
Decorating By LILBOBO1980 Updated 23 Sep 2007 , 4:04pm by step0nmi
I am teaching myself to decorate cakes and I don't know if I should have done something different... the logical answer would be yes. 
I am trying to dye my fondant pink and instead it came out orange. When I dyed the frosting it worked beautifully. Is there something I should have done?? Why would it turn orange? I am also going to dye some fondant a turquoise color... is there anything I should now before doing so?
Thinks in advance.
Yes it is the Wilton coloring. Rose...
As far as switching caps... thats a definate no... it has the color label on the bottle plus I don't orange coloring : (
I have to finish this cake really soon... Hopefully someone knows what has happened.
OH! That ROSE color is an impostor!!! 
I had a lady in my Wilton class use it and it was more like a coral color! We couldn't believe it! Someone should write to them! You may want to try a different pink or maybe add a tad bit of red. So sorry you are not getting the color you wanted!
yeah, that rose comes out coral looking especially when u don't use that much. wilton makes a pink and that one is actually pink. if u have red maybe u could use just a dab of that and it will come out pink. they have color charts here online too to help with colors like turquoise, etc. to get turquoise.....6 parts sky blue +1 part lemon yellow. if u want more aqua color....5 parts sky blue+ 1 part leaf green. HTH
Hmmph.. that's odd, my Rose is pretty pink, no coral about it... I know my Christmas Red goes an orangey-red if I use a lot... What I do for pink, depending on the kind of pink... I've got a Cherry Pink powdered color from CK, or I go VERY LIGHTLY with the wilton pastes... it all depends on what kind of pink you're looking for, delicate baby pink or hot fuschia pink...
As far as the turquoise, I would just fool around until you get it right, remember that it's easier to add more color than to remove it! 
Americolor pink is the way to go.
When I started decorating cakes I would use Wilton and like many others have said you must use a lot to get what you want.
A couple of drops americlor will give you just what you want.
I've used it in fondant, BC and royal icing with no complaints.
When using the Wilton colors, we've learned in my Wilton courses to stir, stir, stir it before you start mixing it into icing. If you've picked up an older bottle, sometimes some of the pigment sinks to the bottom, and it causes the color to not turn out the way you want (one of my friend's Christmas Red turned literally hot pink, but once we stirred it up well (the color bottle), it produced a nice red).
HTH!

OH man! that is something I ALWAYS forget! You may be right!
