I'm making a corset cake and was wondering how I can achieve a nice flesh color for the skin?
Thanks!!!
I use a tiny amount of brown coloring, more color the darker you want to go. I have only done it once though, it's a hula girl in my photos.
Ivory throughout, just a two or three toothpick's worth of rose/pink, and gradually add brown until you reach the desired darkness/skintone.
I used this combination for the baby cake in the link and noticed that it was a VERY realistic skintone. The more brown you add, the darker the tone. This was purposely supposed to be a darker skintone, but it went through several stages of very realistic looking lighter skintone. I jokingly called it my "pound of flesh" LOL 
BTW I used only Wilton gel colors.

I add a touch of orange to white fondant for a nice peachy tone. Of course it all depends on what skin tone you're going for. I think it helps to look at crayons or colored pencils and see which colors are related.
Last time I needed some, I just used Wilton ivory. Before that, I used ivory and peach together. Both looked realistic.
