Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A
What is the best way to colour gum paste / modelling paste flesh tone?
I have tried so many ways now and am still not happy with the result. I am making the sleeping baby using the first impressions mould.
Thank you
Marian

hi marianĀ try a little autumn leaf [sugarflair paste] and claret wine [lustre dust sugarflair]
I use it all the time makes a good flesh colourĀ hope this helps
Hi Marian
I like to keep it simple when it comes to flesh color. I use Wilton ivory, it darkens to a shade lighter than teddy bear brown.
Once the model is made, I combine a little rose dusting powder with icing sugar to dust the model with. If you keep dusting with
icing sugar you’ll find your model will take on a porcelain look which can be dusted very slightly again with the rose/icing
sugar mix.
Hi Lesley, Thank you very much! That’s one I haven’t tried.
I’ll let you know how I get on.
