- Your favorite food colors. I use a mix of AmeriColor gel food colors and natural
food colors. Listed below are some of my favorite Americolors to use on fiber art
cakes. Cork and Gold are my go-to’s for mellowing out and adding depth to other
colors. For black buttercream and shades of grey, I color with black cocoa powder
(but you can use black or the many shades of grey food color available).
- Greens: Avocado, Olive, Chartreuse, Laurel, Moss, Mojito
- Blues: Peacock, Silver Spruce, Navy, Wedgewood, Robin’s Egg
- Warm: Terracotta, Gold, Copper, Dijon, Electric Yellow

- Reds/Purples: Red Red, Sangria, Burgundy, Lilac, Violet, Eggplant
- Neutral: Cork
Please prepare these items for our class:
- A plain, frosted cake
- About 4 cups of buttercream frosting for piping, divided evenly in bowls and
colored with your choice of colors. I recommend 3-6 colors.
