I need to make a cake and the colors she is wanting are very bright. She is wanting like a lime green, an electric blue, an almost hot pink, a very bright yellow. The yellow and pink I know I can do...but how do you come up with a lime green? Or an electric blue?

I make lime green with leaf green and bright yellow.

Lime green, I'd say leaf green and then add some yellow. Electric blue - Not sure!! I know I've seen Neon colored food coloring in the baking section at Walmart/Giant Eagle. Not sure if those would help or not! Good luck!

electric green by americolor is a fantastic lime.

sdaij5, hi I am needing the same colors. The leaf green and bright yellow I am going to try. So how do you get the hot pink?

depending on what you are coloring and the amount they make a liquid food coloring in neon, green, blue, pink, violet. I use the green paste and a little of the yellow paste for most neon green usuages. I had some, I think Americolor blue at work that I liked but I don't work there anymore to check. Good luck.

Americolor has a whole line of "electric" colors. Those can be ordered.

If there's not enough time to order then try:

A neon pink will be hard to achieve but you might try red and rose together then lighten with small amt. of white. Lime greens and electric greens are as described... leaf and lemon. Your bright yellow might be okay with just using a lemon yellow food gel. The blue might be achieved by using six parts of sky blue to one part pink. Parts are equal amounts such as drops if using a gel in a drop bottle or if you are using a Wilton type jar and dip a toothpick, it would be six of the same amounts on a toothpick to one same amount of pink on toothpick.

Hope that helps!

The Lime Green i got was from using *Apple Green* Petal Dust from Carolines Sugar Art Services.
Food Grade Safe.
Used about i level teaspoon of the powder to colour 3 kilos of Pure White Regalice (thats the type of Fondant i use)
Took about 30 minutes to get a good blend - then let it sit overnight wrapped in plastic wrap - just on the kitchen bench - so as the colour had time to fully develope.


** You can see how *lime* it is if you click on my photos and see the Mardi Gras Cake i posted today.

Hope that Helps.

this is americolor's "electric blue". i didn't think it was very neon-y (i am sure that is not a real word, lol), but it was very pretty.

I just made a hanna montana guitar and I needed electric lime green...I did a basic normal americolor green, airbrushed and then added on top of that a basic yellow....it came out BRIGHT
ITS IN MY PICS...

side bar, what do you use white coloring for? Is that like whiteout? Please god, let it be like white out cause that would be AWESOME!

I just made a cake with lime green accents and I used Betty Crocker Neo Gel Colors. I can't remember where I got it, but the colors are very bright and it turned out really nice!
