1. Dye a large ball of fondant - Moss Green
2. Divide the ball in 3 equal parts
3. Set aside ball #1
4. Add some brown dye to ball #2 & mix
5. Add some black dye to ball #3 & mix
you should now have 3 shades of green

Hi Sandra,
Yes, share away.. Thanks for asking prior :)
Love this idea!! How cute. I live in Arkansas and Camo is very popular here...thanks so much for sharing!!
Makes it really easy to get the camo look.
Thanks for this post, I was thinking this was how I would accomplish this but you confirmed it would work and look good!!
I recently did the same thing to make zebra print for zebra stilettos
thank you for sharing. i have my first wedding cake to do and they want it to be camo and was wondering how to make it look like it is camo. Thank you again
This is just what I needed to know, thank you for posting!!
Hi Stephanie
Do you think this same process would work for covering an entire cake?
Yes, Toni, it would. Just make bigger blocks of color & pack it tight then roll it out
Thanks I'm about to do it now so i'll send you a picture when the cake is done.

Hi Stephanie,
thats a great tutorial.I made a camo tank cake a couple years back and my fondant technique was almost the same as yours. Now I keep receiving requests for a tutorial on my website, but I am on along-term traveling trip and have no opportunity to re-create the cake for step-by-step pictures. Would you permit me to share your pictures with link back to your site?
Regina, feel free to share as you wish.
Thanks for asking
Stephanie
Thank you, Stephanie <3

Hi Alicia,
I dyed the fondant myself with the colors in the 1st picture, top of the blog.

This is so helpful! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Both my husband and brother's Army units have camo cakes coming soon!
Thank you so much for the easy tutorial! I used it to create a pink camo fondant with light pink, bright pink, white and med gray. It turned out perfect!
