Ok. I saw these Wilton goody bags at Walmart the other day and thought to myself, "Wouldn't that make a cute cake!" My birthday is next friday, so I plan on making a two-tiered stacked cake, 8" and 6". I want to decorate the top cake in this pattern (not sure about bottom cake yet.) So my question is- how do I get this color purple (the base color)? Will the Wilton violet work? Also, any suggestions for the bottom tier? Thanks you guys!!!
I don't know if this will help. But I made ac camo cake with purple shades. I used violet to start. Then I had a frosting I had already tinted in red and added royal blue and got my dark purple. and to achieve my purple combined the 2 and made the purple with some addition of my white frosting. I don't know for sure how bright that purple is. But It looks like what I created with the 2 different bases I made. I probably don't make sence I am tired. Good luck
To get a dark but bright purple use wilton purple candy coloring I learned this by not reading candy colors 
but it makes the best purple oh so pretty good luck and happy birthday!
Zmama- great ideas! Now I wish I could do present cakes but I don't have square pans! 
I should've mentioned that I plan on doing all MMF. Doesn't fondant take color better than BC when you add it at the "melted marshmallow" phase? Will that make a difference with the Violet color?
kay- LOL! You do make a little less sense than usual but I got your drift! Although, the one time I combined blue and red to make purple it made a putrid brown. (See Baby Einstein Caterpillar in my pics.) Not sure what happened there.
Becky- Can you add purple candy melts to MMF?
yes I did mean the color paste for candy and not candymelts there self. yes it goes in mmf real well as it is oil based.
