Could someone please advise me how to get an ivory colored frosting - I have tried a dot of brown and other colors and I always end up with a peachy color - is there a secret without getting an actual "Ivory" color - I don't have time to have one shipped to me. Thanks!!!
I use a regular dark vanilla extract in my frosting when I want an ivory color.
If the dot of brown is too peachy (and I agree with the above posts with the vanilla as well) then add just a tiny bit of yellow or gold, very tiny, to counteract the reddish tint of your brown.
There are two types of ivory anyway...a more "blush" colored which lends towards pink or the one that lends more towards a yellow....so just add whichever makes it the ivory you want...sounds like a dot of brown and a tiny dot of yellow in your case....
I use half butter, half shortening and dark vanilla extract.
This is what I do, too. It makes a lovely, creamy ivory color. I rarely make completely white icing.
