Hello everyone. I've got a simple question for you. If you were going to decorate a cake with white buttercream poinsettias, what color would you pipe the dots in the center? I tried doing it in yellow but it didn't look quite right. Thanks so much.....

I am doing a wedding cake with white points. I did a very gentle yellow with a small red tip. I hope that helps!

I am making the white ponsettias and using some gold dragees for the centers.

Not very vibrant, but it is what it is.....

I personally like subtle now and then icon_smile.gif

This is probably a stupid question; but when you do white bc poinsettias, do you use the pure white icing or do you add color to it? White poinsettias are not a true white.
