Color Mixing Wins and Struggles, let’s chat..

I hope you’ve enjoyed the color theory series so far! We’ve covered a lot—from building a natural color wheel to mixing secondary and tertiary colors. But as we all know, mixing icing colors naturally isn’t always straightforward.

I shared a photo of the last minute cake I made for my FIL this week, I used black cocoa which I love because it tastes like Oreo! I wish it was a solid option for black royal icing.

Sometimes, you nail the perfect shade on the first try. Other times… well, you end up with something completely unexpected (hello, mystery brown!). I once accidentally added baking soda to red - instead of blue - and made an odd brown color!

I’d love to hear from you!

• Have you had a color-mixing win recently?

• Is there a color you’re struggling to achieve?

• Do you have a go-to trick for getting just the right shade?

Drop your thoughts in the comments—I’d love to chat!

And for my paid subscribers, I have some exciting behind-the-scenes updates, including a sneak peek at a major new resource I’m creating for the dye-free decorating community. Stay tuned!
