Hi everyone xx
I’ve been asked to make a 3d Eeyore cake and cupcakes along with his other friends.
I’m ok with his friends, but not sure how to get that exact colour blue that he is……..
I’m thinking of mixing violet with powder blue…….but not sure.
Have any of you fantastic cake friends got any tips?
Looking forward to hearing your replies xxx
Thank you xx

I googled the image Karen. And found everything from all grey, to grey-blue, medium blue to blue-violet. I think a cornflower blue with a touch of grey would probably be fine.
Hope this helps….

I’ve made Eeyore ages ago .. Racking my brains, but seem to recall ice blue and a small touch of lavender and fuchsia pink x

Thanks June and Calli, I’ll have a play with both and see which looks to be about right. Just don’t want to fall into the trap of colours changing like I did with the Millenium falcon cake!! So I think I’ll have a play and leave it in the light and see what happens……..lol xx Thanks for your advice I really appreciate it xx

I found using americolor’s OIL CANDY COLOR in BLUE was more of the right blue I can’t remember all the other colours I added, but that was the main one

If your adding violet, don’t forget to add s small amount if baking soda to keep the color.

Ah yes, I forgot, the baking soda works a treat, especially where the lilac or purple shades are concerned x

Well I settled on using ice blue with violet and a touch of shadow grey. I also added a tiny bit of soda as suggested by June xx Hope you like it? xx I think it came out great.
