Does anyone have any suggestions on colors to mix to make a pretty flesh, (skin) color. The Flesh coloring that I have makes the icing look orange. icon_cool.gif

If my flesh color is too orange (as seems to be the case with a lot of pre-made flesh/peach colors) I can usually compensate by mixing it with light pink, and then lightening it with white icing as needed.

You can also get a browny flesh color by using a bit or warm brown.

Use just the tinest bit of copper and you will have flesh color.
