Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use Wilton Copper Skin Tone Icing Colour?

Dip a toothpick into the gel and knead it gradually into your fondant, gum paste, or buttercream. Add small amounts at a time until you reach your desired shade. You can also mix it with Wilton's Ivory or Peach for lighter or darker skin tones.

Is this colour suitable for buttercream icing?

Yes. Wilton gel colours are highly concentrated and work well in buttercream. Because the formula is gel-based rather than liquid, it won't thin out your icing like water-based colours can.

Can I mix copper with other Wilton colours to get different skin tones?

Absolutely. Mixing Copper with Ivory creates a lighter, peachy skin tone. Adding a touch of Brown or Burgundy deepens the shade for darker complexions. Experimenting on a small amount of fondant first is always recommended.
