I'm doing that colour this week too, het518!! Are you tinting icing or fondant??

I found the Burgundy dye from Americolor is perfect! I'm doing an ivory fondant cake with Burgundy detailing.

But...the Wilton Burgundy and Wilton Brown added together (about a 2:1 ratio) are a pretty close match too.
