I am making a bikini cake for a co-worker and wanted to know, how to get a tan skintone using Wilton icing colors. I have the 12 pack.

Thanks in advance for your help

I know wilton makes a flesh tone, but I'm not sure what colors are in the 12 pack. I know I've seen where people use a little copper. If that's not quite right you could add a little pink (not Wilton rose) and some yellow, as most skin tones have those shades in them. This is just guessing, but the only thing I'm sure of is the copper.

I would try a little little bit of copper, and if it's two dark, some yellow. Just a tiny bit of yellow at a time. Pink might work two.

if using fondant, I came across by accident, using brown until thoroughly mixed and it comes out as tan skin.

I used copper & a touch of peach today when colouring white modeling chocolate.

I will use your suggestions. I guess for darker skin tones I will use brown and for lighter the copper.

I've used brown to get a nice tan color.

honestly, I am a pretty white person, blonde hair and such. and I was trying to make a tanish bamboo brown the other day, and made the PERFECT Skin tone. I even saved a bit of it before I added more wilton brown to take to walmart to match to foundation. it literly matched my skin perfectly.. icon_smile.gif

all I used was wilton brown. and I wasnt really skimping on the brown to start with. but it mixed in quite well.
