Has anyone bought the green satin ice? I'm wondering how close to lime green it is.

A. Can the green be lightened?

B. Should I just get white and tint it green.

Thanks!

I won't buy Satin Ice anymore since I've had so many problems with it.

Depending on how much you need, Americolor makes a mint green that you could use to color the white fondant.

I use a little of the leaf green and 2x as much lemon yellow to get my lime green.

yeah, i wish i could see the green on a cake to see how light/dark it is.

I've used green Satin Ice, and I've also used it to get sort of a lime green. If you want to see what they look like, I have them both in my gallery.

The straight green was used to cover the board on my dark brown and white striped 2-tier with the daisies. (I'm pretty sure I added a little white to it. Can't remember!)

I mixed white and green Satin Ice, then added some Wilton golden yellow to get a limey green on my 3-tier blue, yellow, and orange cake. I'm sure adding more white and using lemon yellow instead of golden yellow would make a truer lime.

HTH!

I used satin ice green on my pink cowgirl/horses cake in my gallery. I didn't mix in any white.

I have mixed a little green Satin Ice into a bigger ball of Satin Ice yellow and got a nice lime green. You just have to start with yellow and add a very small amount of green at a time till you get the shade you need.

I use Crystal Colors Lime Green to tint my own MMF. Here's a sample of the green I get.
