Hi, I am making a Motherwell Football top and looking to see if anyone knows where I can purchase Amber Sugarpaste or the best colours to mix.

Thanks

Hi nickyd

Amber is sort of gold, orange, brown, yellow and possibly terracotta. Try blending those little by little and see what comes out! If you’d prefer to blend pastes, I had a look at the Renshaws, they have one called tiger orange which could mix well with their yellow and possibly teddy bear brown. These are all the colours I would try mixing. x

Thanks very much, would it be equal parts of orange and yellow with little teddy bear brown?

No, it’s not equal amounts, it’s a case of experimenting with all the colours a little at a time until you get the colour you want. Start with for example 2 parts yellow and 1 part orange, mix them together, if it’s not the right shade add a small amount of teddy bear brown or a speck of red.
When I experiment I literally use tiny amounts like 5g or less. I’ve just googled the shirt, I think it is a mix of yellow and orange. It does look like it may have a touch of red in it. You’ll need to experiment to get the colour. Unfortunately I haven’t got any orange or yellow pastes to experiment along with you.
