- Sorry it's upside down at first. I promise it gets better lol. Hey guys, I did this periscope trying to explain how you can get any color in fondant. It's a long video with a ton of information but by the end you should be able to understand how color works and stop asking me how you make "blue" fondant hehe

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate this in depth tutorial. THANK YOU for taking time to REALLY explain about how to create these different shades of colors and understanding the color wheel. No one explains it the way that you do. This is great. Thank you again so much. You are a rock star!
I've delved into color theory many times in painting and I think I can help with a few weird colors that most people may be having trouble with creating.
Note: when adapting paint colors for fondant, the first listed color of the base is the color of fondant you should use to start the base of your color.
True Lilac: Base: a bit of white, a tiny bit of purple, and the tiniest bit of pink. To electrify the color or make it brighter, you can add more purple.
True Lavender: a bit of white, a tiny bit of light blue, the tiniest bit of true blue, and some purple.
*Please don't confuse Lavender for Lilac and vice-versa. They are two colors that get confused on a daily basis by nearly everyone at some point. Remember that Lilac is a light pinky-purple, and Lavender is a light bluey-purple.
Neon Orange Coral (what most clothing designers call bright coral): a bit of white, orange, a bit of electric pink, and a the tiniest bit of yellow. If you want to tone it down a bit, add a tiny bit of ivory.
Military (drab) Green: a bit of white, some green, tiny bit of red, a tiny bit of yellow, and a tiniest bit of black.
Hope that helps some of your viewers!
+The Learning Guru Thanks for the tips!! so helpful!

Artisan, how can i get your book?
I keep coming back for refreshers. Thank you for leaving them up. We love you.
This was sooo informative and I only accidentally watched this video. I thank the universe for that! Thank you!
OMG i was so bummed that i didnt watch this scope till the end. I had a long day at work and just fell asleep after about 20 minutes, the next day the video already gone. After that I actually went through your youtube channel to see if you have a
video about this topic. THANK YOU VERY MUUUCHH for putting it here. You are very generous with your knowledge.
As a hairstylist I know and understand how important color theory is, and I thank you for putting this video out! I made the mistake of adding my purple to just white instead of laying down the pink first, and then it came out that wonky purple and 2 days later it was blue lol So this video was so helpful to me!
This video was so helpful, I always understood color theory, so why I didn't think to apply it to coloring my fondant is beyond me...lol thank you so much! I love your videos and tutorials. I just started working with fondant about 6 months ago, as I was always a bc decorator, but with your help I've learned to love and appreciate the wonders of fondant, after I become great at fondant I hope to move on to modeling chocolate.
I cannot thank you enough! I am new to your channel and this is the BEST coloring tutorial I have yet to find! Thank you so much for this detailed demonstration.
What a fantastic tutorial! I've been struggling for months to achieve a perfect, bright purple. I already have Regal Purple and Electric Pink, I can't wait til the next opportunity arises for me to make a purple cake! Many thanks Liz.
This video is so helpful. Thanks for teaching it in much easier way. Now I understand color in much better way.
Thank you sooooo much!!! This is definitely a game changer. I used to add more food coloring to get the right color and that always failed. And yes my fondant always cracked so I stayed away from decorating with fondant.
Such an awesome study of color mixing!!! I gave to watch this a couple more times because of the wealth of information. Thanks again Liz for sharing. :)
when you see the heading how to color fondant you think yes yes I know how to knead color into fondant, so you can imagine I'm thanking myself soo much right now for my accidental bump on this video, the heading does not give it justice, this is amazing and I want to thank you soo much for doing this video
Woohoo just bought your book..Its this video that prompted me. Not to mention your amazing at what you do. Thank You. I like that your "real", easy to follow, and your not confusing, and you DONT EDIT. Edit causing us out here in the TH-cam audience to make major mistakes. So thank you for NOT doing that!
+Dee Trigg Thank you so much! Very happy that you enjoy the videos :)
It's amazing how many times you have sparked an epiphany for me :) I learned a lot from this and realized I am better at colors than I thought I was.Thanks!
you are my absolute idol. I have learned so much from you. I got your book and is amazing and this video further helps is like having you teaching the material from the book :) love it!!
I really really appreciate your colour theory demonstration! this is so helpful, thank you so much for spending your precious time and the cost of fondant and colourant you need to put in this! 😊👏👏👏🙌
Thanks so much for this demo, I have had a basic understanding of colour theory, but this demo just made it all make sense. The visual difference was so helpful.
very informational.i will never look at the color wheel the same because of you. thank you Lizz. love your teaching. I like the classroom feel you gave to this tutorial.
+Tasha Walker You're welcome! It was fun!
you are the most amazing decorator! -subscribed - bought book - now planning to get the patreon :) thanks!
A very very informative video. 👏🏽👏🏽the best i have watched on cake decoration. Was looking for dark green. Now i know.
Thank you so much for doing this tutorial; you saved my fondant batch, it was purple and I needed grey. It worked. I’m very grateful:)
I love the way you demo this article. This means a lot to me . Thanks you so much😍😍😍
Thank you so much for this! I made a cake months ago and wanted my royal icing to be "grass Green" and wasted so much time trying to make it the right color, and didn't like it anyway. Now I know I need to add yellow, not blue.
Seriously just blew my mind, lol. Thank you for posting this, the hard colors to make I usually purchase, I will not do that anymore! Thank you!!
This is a great tutorial, I always have had problems getting the exact colors I want, but I think you jus solved my problem
This is such a fantastic guide! I just wish that it were available in a resolution where we could see what's going on, 240p is just a mess. Is there an HD version somewhere, perhaps for purchase? This is the kind of material that I would more than happily pay to have on hand!
love all your videos you are amazing! thank you for taking the time to do them for everyone! I wanted to ask you if you could do a tutorial on how to do a fondant cake topper in a squatting position? I want to make a cake for my partner with him deadlifting a hex bar weight which is in a slight squat position with arms down wards holding a weight. I haven't a clue and there are NO videos for this anywhere! his birthday is end of November I'd really appreciate it. I just can't believe there are no tutorials for it it must be hard to do haha xx

This is great, since I am doing purple in a few weeks! I never would have thought of the pink. Thanks!
Also, thanks for putting the periscope video on here.
the undertone is the tone needed to make that color cooler or warmer ndertones can be warm or cool!

RGB (red green blue) is a different thing to the primary colours (red yellow blue) in fine arts. Kinda similar, but not really, because pigments are very different to light.
From your bests...! Thaaaaanks a lot! Very informative! Well done and thanks again. (but cant find Americolor in Greece. i ll try these with another brands)
Thanks so much for breaking down colour theory Liz, great video sadly can't get periscope to work on my andriod :( You stress the importance of building up your undertones properly in order to get true colours, do you find this is best achieved with the colours in the"electrics" range? apologies if you answered this in the scope.
+Jimmy Lee I use electrics as the "building" colors. You wouldn't build up electric pink but you would build up fuschia. Hope that makes sense
+Artisan Cake Company thanks Liz. I'm not so eloquent with words, I did mean to say to begin building colours up starting with the colours in the electric range. looking forward to having a play with a few plus the "nude". Thanks so much for taking the time out to reply x
Wow I love it
Honestly I think fondant is better than playdough
What about offwhite and pastel colors?
How do I make Navy Blue with Royal blue? I dont have electric blue yet. And what fondant recipe are you using?
am getting ready to place an order for some Americolor and need green. I do not see a straight "green" listed-they have electric green, forest green, leaf green, mint green and moss. Can't read the color on the bottle you are using to make the greens. Which one is it?
I need to make navy blue fondant. Should i purchase the amerimist navy blue and spray the cake? Or should I go make use royal blue americolor and then add black to it? Or make a black fondant then a royal blue fondant and mic both fondants together?
Thank you so much, this really help me a lot
What kind of colour is this ? Is this food colour or paint colour? Thanks
omg..soooooo informative. thank you. i learned alot. great job
so if I already made purple fondant and I want it darker, so what color can I add to it to make it a real dark purple??
black
ok thank you
Thanks so much for the tutorial. it really helps. M wondering where can i buy a colour wheel though 😊
Manjula Perera any art supply store, some cake supply, or Amazon.
What do u use to keep ur fondant from drying out
I learned so much thank you for posting.
Hi I want to buy the americolor soft gel paste,, can I use it for icing ot fondant
where can i get the book here in Nigeria
How do I do cherry red?
Baby pink, i always get peachy color. Becuase i only got rose pink available. Should i add a little of blue?
Really awesome 🥰 thank you so much ♥️♥️
The Sky Blue turns the batter Green cause the batter is usually always Yellow tinted from the vanilla or the egg yolks. Yellow and blue make green so unless its a true white cake batter than it will always be green
Is there any way you could make another video about color that is similar to this one? The video quality is very poor and it is hard to really see the colors. Thank you.
hey can we mix the colour with water??? would it give the same result ??
do you have to change your glove when you change color?
Do you have a good fondant recipe
Please can you tell.me how I could get the right shade to match the green on a champagne bottle grasias
Thanks you!! I saved me when I was trying to make silver gray
hi, can i apply those color when mixing on the icing? like buttercream?
big fan of your work . amazing. Thank you so much
Which colors BTW gel and liquid is good to you for airbrush
how do I get that green tea color? more specifically, white wine color. it looks a bit greenish yellow to me. it looks more green tea to me.
