Why so formal, BAKED? :-)
Seriously, by the time that gumpaste was coloured, I couldn’t have told you what colours went into it. It was the hardest colour to achieve EVER! I started with Wilton burgundy, which is horrible, and added more red, which made it a rusty brown. I ended up adding lots of Wilton Rose, Violet, some black, just everything and it still wasn’t right. It was more like egg plant, so I ended up brushing it raspberry and cranberry lustre dusts mixed with red and mixed with black for the outside.
