Mixing Fondant Icing to make Pink
I have some White and Red Fondant icing left over from a cake I made recently, I have another cake to make for my mother in-law, and need Pink icing.
If I mix the white and red together, will I get some pink icing which I can work with?
The Red can be seen here, it is what the red balls are made of.
Best Answer
Yes, you can mix red and white fondant to make pink fondant, red is just white that's dyed so mixing red into white will dilute the red dye. It takes a lot of dye to get a strong red color but very little to get pink, so start with 10% red to 90% white first and see how you get.

Experiment by creating a shade in between the two by adding a small amount of the hot pink to the baby pink and then a speck of black. It's a case of experimenting with tiny amounts until you are satisfied with the shade.Can you add food coloring to fondant?
Can food coloring be used to color fondant icing? It's better to use gel food coloring, as it is more concentrated. Liquid food coloring can make your fondant more sticky, but if you do use liquid and it becomes sticky, just add more powdered sugar to it till you reach your desired consistency.7. Color Mixing
