I am doing a rehersal dinner cake for tomorrow.. It is just a sheet cake and the color scheme is brown/pink. I am using pink (medium color) flowers and brown (chocolate bc) for the borders. Regular BC to frost the cake

1. Should I tint the BC a PALE pink or leave it white?

2. Should I use the brown for leaves or do NO leaves ?

IMHO--I think it should be a pink or even a brown color. The white would seem to stand out. I have done a pink and brown cake--my own BD cake.

I would tint the BC light pink and not do any leaves.

Mac your BD cake is beautiful.. I too had to make my own BD when I turned 50.. Gave myself a party.. ladies brunch.. No one would buy me a cake They all wanted GOOD cake lol.

Hi, Gingoodies,

I would agree with others on here to tint the BC for the cake a pale shade of pink. I would avoid using brown for leaves (they'll look like dead leaves)

However, you could include leaves in either a pink slightly darker than the BC icing but still paler than the flowers (so they won't catch as much attention), or in the same pale shade of pink as the BC icing. Of course, you could switch up and do both or even a few different slightly different pale shades of pink, but that's a *little* more work.

I've attached an example of a pink and white cake I did for a co-worker's baby shower. I did striped pink and white BC roses with white leaves on pink BC icing.

I'd do green leaves! Why not?
