Fondant colors always fade if
you leave it out for a while like overnight or
it is left out under flourescent light or direct sun light..

Next time put it in a dark place. icon_smile.gif

As far as I know only purple/lavander fades away, this happend to me with a tink cake I made in Oct (in my gallery) It was a pretty purple and then turned baby blue in a matter of 24 hrs. And with your pink fondant, maybe it was waaay to light? HTH and now I know not to use purples as much, unless I color fondant the same day as the party.
