To create coral-colored fondant with a pink hue, you'll need a combination of orange and pink fondant.
The video reference suggests using orange fondant with a touch of pink to achieve the desired coral color. For apricot (which is similar to coral), the suggested ratio is two parts orange to one part yellow. To get a pink-toned coral, you could modify this by using orange fondant as the base and adding both yellow and pink incrementally until you reach the desired shade.
Here's a general approach:
- Start with orange fondant: This will be your primary color.
- Add a small amount of pink fondant: Mix it thoroughly.
- Assess the color: If it's not coral enough, add a very small amount of yellow to warm the color. Be careful, adding too much yellow will shift the color away from coral.
- Continue to adjust: Repeat steps 2 and 3, adding either pink or yellow in tiny increments until the desired coral color is achieved. It is always easier to add more color than to take it away!
It's best to mix small batches and test the color before committing to a large quantity. The precise ratio will depend on the initial shade of your orange fondant and the intensity of your pink.
