Try red with brown. Or .. the Americolor maroon. I've used that quite a bit and it works well.

Pandors!!!! icon_biggrin.gif I make VT cakes all the time. I have to tell you I just start mixing until its right. But I know I use red, violet and brown. I put something VT in front of me and start mixing. I do red and violet first and then add some brown and then just compare the icing with the item (usually my jacket...OK my husband is leaning over me saying "my?" technically it is his, but I wear it more than him). I compare and add a little more of this or that. Oh, and stop just before you think you have it dark enough, because it WILL darken as it sits. What are you going to put on the cake? I want to see pictures. I am always looking for new VT ideas.
