How do you recolor Cakes?

I'm a newbie when it comes to customization and I just wanna know step-by-step on how to get the textures/colors to work. Also, the cake itself doesn't show up for me when testing the textures, only the plate. The only thing I can see is the mesh templates.

I'm using PC and Gimp btw.
  • @s4diversity It actually was the birthday cake that I wanted to try out ?. Any food related item will do really, cakes just seemed super fun to do at the time.
  • Cakes are a debug item. They will remain hidden until you change something in the warehouse.

    Here are various threads about this issue (first 2 are tutorials):

    Yeah, but how do people make their cakes look crisp and not muddy? Isn't there tuning involved?

    Hi! I can't find any other articles on this. I followed this thread and made a kinda funny cake, but I can't get it to show up in my game. I did a standalone recolor. Should I have done something differently?
  • @PlumbobTattoo
    I haven't figured it out.

    @s4diversity I've found the cake pieces and edited it for testing, but I can't find the cake in my game unless it's been set to decor only. How do I make it into an edible?

    Do you know how to do this with Sims 3? I've been on TSR workshop looking for the texture but I'm dumbfounded!
  • @mollymawks I don't know, I gave up. I also haven't been able to use the sims 3 ftm, so I really don't know. Hope you find out soon, though.
