HELP! I need to know how to turn fondant black. What is the easiest way?
What i do is use a brown coloring and get it as dark brown as u can and then add the black until u get the black u want. Or u can make some chocolate fondant and then color it black....it works!
I just made and used black fondant last week! What a a pain. Use gloves if you have a kind that the nasty tatse won't come off of into your fondant(the cheep ones leave a balloon flavor behind) OR there is always the standy by quart size freezer bags over your hands..LOL I have done that too! I saw someone sprayed their fondant black but it was touchy and the color lifted off when messed with so I wouldn't try that. I like Americolors better that anything else for black.
totally agree with KKC. That is the best way, other wise you will be dying and kneading so much.
I use purple, dark dark purple and then add black. I find that it takes less purple of any brand color to get it dark and then add black. Grease your hands down with crisco, a nice thick layer, and then mix. Wash hands first in an alcohol based had sanitizer. It lifts the color, cuts, the crisco and then add soap. No stained hands.
My suggestion...... make chocolate MMF and add black. It's really easy and no where near as messy!! That's what I use for the black fondant on all the cakes I've done.
