I wanted to use candy melts to make an xbox cake for my son. How do I get the melts black. I'm using white melts. I was told at the cake supply store to use the powder color. If that is right do I use it after I melt them or wait til I knead it the next day and knead it in there. Any thoughts would be appreciated ASAP! Thanks!

Are you talking about the candy wafers that you can purchase at Michael's or A.C. Moore or candy clay?

I would add it when you melt it. I used the candy color black in dark chocolate melts and it took a lot of the coloring, so don't be surprised if it takes a lot of the powder to get to black. Are you making candy clay?

Yes i'm making candy clay. I just wasn't sure if I should use the white or the dark chocolate melts and if I should use the powder color or the gel color black. Will I have to use a whole bottle of black powder color? Thanks for your help.
