I have never been asked for a lime green cake and everywhere I ask, they say to use leaf green, is this a good choice, the cake is 2 weeks away, and is all fondant. Anything would be helpful. Thanks in Advance!

if you can get ahold of americolor gels, they have an electric green that makes a perfect lime green, here is a cake using that color

There is actually a lime green gel color. I think its from CK products. I use it alot. Leaf green will work, but I like the actual lime green better.

Cake Craft also has a lime green gel color that is very nice.

If you do end-up using Wilton colors, try adding lemon yellow to the leaf green. I've used this combo before with buttercream and it's worked great. I don't do a lot with fondant, so I don't know if it will work with that so I would definitely do a trial run!

Definitely do not use straight leaf green....not even close to lime. Like the people above have said - Americolor has the best Electric green - I use it all the time. In a pinch, mix some yellow with the leaf green, but it's not the same as the electric colors!

I have a lime green fondant covered cake next month! Must be popular!

You can also try Crystal Colors - I know Country Kitchen - countrykitchensa . com is prompt to ship. They have one called "Lime" that I used for this cake.

Sorry, I couldn't get the image link right. There are actually two in my photos, the Lime Green and Pink Daisies (Round) and the two-tier square with brown ribbon and daisies.

For wilton colors it is more lemon yellow- then you add the green a little at a time until you have the shade of green that you want.

The Americolor electric green is really bright, so you may want to experiment with different greens first or yellow with green added. Don't use leaf green only.

This cake was done with Americolors electric green. I used a bit less than I would for, say, a birthday cake.

Thanks you all!! this was very helpful!! I am goin to call americolor tomorrow..Thank you!!

Well, since your ordering from Americolor you probably don't need to know this. But, to get lime green you do use leaf green but add lemon yellow.

That is one really cute cake! The color is what I had in mind, too. I have ribbon that I want to match. Thanks again!

I mix colors for most of my icing.....you don't have to use just one color to get the shade you desire.
