Title says it all really!
Want to make a pocoyo cake for dd for her birthday but unsure how to make the icing look like it is flesh coloured.

Thanks

experiment, mix a little red & yellow then little bits of blue till you've got the shade you want, assuming you have the primary colours.

thanks Eowyn will experiment away!! Knew I had to mix the colours but no idea which ones!

there might be easier ways but you can (theoretically) mix anything from these colours so I'd just do it v cautiously, bearing in mind how strong food colouring is!

I made a Dora the Explorer cake last year and used yellow and pink mixed together then watered the result down and applied to face using a soft paint brush. Quite a lot of experimentation, however Dora is rather orange so got away with a bit of a tangoed look.

thanks - pocoyo is not as orange as dora so will have to be really careful then!!
