Do you make your own fondant? I start out with melting the marshmallows, adding in the black gell coloring after they are melted along with the flavoring and then add in the cocoa powder to make it chocolate and darker. Then continue adding powdered sugar to finish the fondant. Once you have it at this stage you can see if you need to add more black or not and can knead it in. Use very little after the first addition since black dries out quickly. But it's easier to start out with chocolate fondant first and go to black from there than add a bunch of black color to white fondant.

Honestly, I have a cake coming up next week that requires quite a lot of black embellishments and I'll probably go buy some fonderific. With dark or brilliant colors that is sometimes the best, if not least expensive way to go.
I use chocolate fondant and add black. This way you don't have to add alot of black gel.
