Whenever I add color- it seems to dry out- but if i add water it gets sticky then i add powered sugar and then it starts all over! Please help!! i end up leaving it a little white because I ma afraid of it drying out

Do you use liquid or powder color?

Are you making regular fondant or marshmallow fondant? What is the recipe? Knowing this might help distinguish an answer to the problem.

i am using liquid and it is the already made fondant becasue when i make the mashmellow fondant it comes out too shinny

You need to use gel colors.

I personally find that chocolate fondant takes time to dry out--which I personally think is great on cakes so it doesn't get all crusty.

Instead of adding water or powdered sugar add just a little cooking oil. It doesn't get too shinny and works great.

I'm with Rylan, chocolate fondant all the way! You need to find an easy, tasty fondant that performs well for you. They are out there

Chocolate fondant gives you a much longer work time. I went back and used the diamond quilter on a cake that I had covered over an hour ago and I got no cracks.....
