I'm making a firetruck and need some grey fondant to simulate the metal- I started with white, added equal amounts of black and blue paste coloring and so far have Aqua - (when I used just black I ended up with that ugly green) Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks

I did a tombstone one time with fondant and it was grey, I just added a tiny bit of black to it. I would start over if you are able to.

I did a grey washtub on one of my cakes and I just added a tiny bit of black to the white fondant, also. icon_smile.gif I think you will have to start over, too.
