making a last minute cake for my daughter b-day tomorrow and i need to color my fondant. Will wilton coloring work?

sure. I color the white premade wilton fondant all the time. Your hands are just going to get a workout! Wilton color will work.

Oh, yes...I always make mine white so I can use different colors and not get stuck with one batch all one color.

I like to put the fondant in the microwave for about 10 seconds (for a full batch of fondant) at a time until it is soft, then I take a toothpick and put the coloring on my fondant, then crisco my hands and knead. It doesn't take too much kneading if your fondant is soft. Just be careful not to over heat it because the fondant gets hot!

I always make mine white and then color it later. If you are going to make it a dark color, make sure you wear gloves. I was doing a dark purple and just used crisco on my hands and had to use a bleach pen on my hands to get the color back to normal. lol.

I second the gloves for dark colors suggestion. On Monday night, I made some black fondant for a Black Belt cake, and didn't want to bother with gloves. After washing two loads of dishes and taking a shower, the tint was gone from most of my skin, but it took until today for the fuschia-ish tint to finally fade away from around my cuticles. (I can't come in contact with bleach, or I would have tried that.)

Absolutely. I actually consider coloring fondant as part of my exercise routine for my arm workout It's tough, but it will get done! I usually don't color until it is made because I never know what I'm going to be doing! More work? Yes. But look at the benefits. I can tell the doctor I *do* workout!
