How To Color Fondant Sage/fern Green?
Decorating By Someonesmommy Updated 31 Dec 2008 , 4:42am by Frankyola
I've been trying all afternoon to get a sage/fern green color using fondant. I cant for the life of me get it right.
What colors do I mix together? Can someone help?
Thanks in advance!
anyone? I've been able to make lovely shades of baby poop green, neon christmas green and everything in between but nothing close to what I want!
I have made a color that is close to sage...I used green and brown. Just make sure that you add small amounts of brown so you dont make it like some ugly color.
It'll be easier to help you if we know what brands and colors you've already tried and if you're using conventional fondant or MMF.
I've had excellent results with Americolor Avocado gel color. Wilton Sage has worked nicely in a pinch as well.
Sometimes I'll add a drop of Forest Green to offset the 'baby poop' effect. 
Im using wilton fondant and wilton gel colors. Its just for a dummy cake, cause Im bored. I want to attempt cornelli lace with the green fondant.
There's a cake in my pix that I used Wilton's Juniper to color fondant. Is that the color you're going for?
I use the Wilton Juniper Green and it makes a decent sage color.
Ditto, That is what I use also. In my pics I have a three tier square with bows and pearls, and that is what I used.

Thats the color!! Of course I just looked through my box of gel colors and I don't have juniper.
Since you do not have the juniper green, I would use some of your light green fondant. Mix brown into another small piece of fondant. Then knead small pieces of the brown fondant into the green untill you get the shade you want. That way you do not get too heavy of a dose of brown in your green. You could also add a little bit of black fondant to the mix.
We mix all our shades of color with just the basics. It works great when you get used to it.
