How Do I Make Mickey Mouse Skin Color?

I'm making a Mickey Mouse cake and not sure how to mix his skin color. I have the Wilton gel colors.
Also, if anyone has any help or pointers on making the cake that would be greatly appreciated because I've never done him before. I downloaded Wilton's instructions, but if anyone has any other tips that would be great. 
The person I'm making it for wants me to use the Wilton pan and she also wants me to use crushed oreo cookies for his ears instead of black buttercream. 
I'm not so sure that is going to look very nice, but it's her cake. What do you all think? She doesn't want the mess of the black icing on her daughter.
OH and one more question, what color icing do you put under all the star piping or does it matter and do you ice the sides of the cake with that same color icing?
Thank you!
Just a touch of copper will give you the right skin color.
if you don't have the copper you can use a tiny bit of brown and to warm it up you can use pink and yellow with it just a little bit not too much! with the shaped cake pan you can just ice the sides with whatever color buttercream and you don't have to cover the top with frosting before you pipe your stars onto it just go right ahead with the stars otherwise it makes it hard to see the pattern underneath.Good luck
