My niece is asking me to make her a bday cake using the exact pink & purple in the cake below. I think Americolor violet would work for the purple (but not positive). I am completely stumped as to what color or colors to use for the pink. Any suggestions? TIA

Anytime Anyone asks for a specific color, I ask for a swatch. The trouble with sending pictures is that computer screens vary, printers vary, lighting varies. I also promise to do my best but remind them that I am not Sherwin Williams & the color may not be exact but will be very similar.

It's never "just cake!"

 

You may get a cake for $way to little but you won't get this cake!

Thanks mcaulir! I used Americolor Electric Pink on my mermaid cake I just made & it was more of a neon pink color. Will the color deepen if I add more color & let it sit for a couple of days? I know this happens with deeper colors like black & red.

It WILL fade - even when exposed to fluoro light - heck it fades when exposed to ANY light.

The only way I have found to reduce it is to use a base colour of another pink - like Raspberry (Wilton or Creative??)

Sometimes I think I should just keep my opinions to myself,  but someone has got to be the voice of reason

You could definitely use Wilton Rose and get that color. If you use your neon pink, just add a bit of brown to tone it down a bit.

Thanks you Applegumpam & AnnieCahill for the advice. I really appreciate it! I will try adding another color to tone down the electric pink.
