I need pink fondant and I have white fondant, but I do not like adding food coloring (wilton gel). Can I mix red fondant (that I already have) with my white fondant and get a pale baby pink?

Hi, yes you can mix the two together and make pink. But I really like the wilton rose pink.

Actually it might not look very good. It just depends on *what* shade of red you used and how much.
You can try small amounts of red & white and see it you like it.
Why don't you want to use food coloring gel? The amount one would need for a 'pale baby pink' is sooooo small it would hardly be noticed and will look much better.

Get ready to use those muscles!! It can be done but will take ALOT of kneading! just start out with a small amt then knead, adding the red till you get the pink you desire

cakebakinmom.. why don,t you want to use "WILTON" gel colors.. i am confused .. can you explain. if you want a pretty pink fondant.. then that is the way you should go..

Everytime I mix the gel with the fondant it is very sticky! Of course I am usually tring to achieve a very dark color. I guess it wouldn't be so bad if I want a light color. Is my best bet really to color it using the wilton gel? I have plenty of wilton rose pink.

I always use pink... strawberry marshmellows for my pinks and reds.

Of course you can.


Good luck.

If you have the wilton pink - by all means do it .. your only gonna need a small amt. It shouldnt be enuff to get sticky on ya!! Good Luck!

merciermom ~ Thats a GREAT idea! Thanx for sharing that - I stuck it in my memory bank for further use!

Thanks for all of your advice. I colored the fondant last night with wilton gel. It turned out fine. I am going to make the cake tomorrow night. I will post a pic so all can view.

I was so excited yesterday at Wal-Mart, I saw pink strawberry flavored marshmellows!!!! I am doing a 6 year olds cake this month and thought It would be great for making MMF. I hope it turns out ok!
