I make my own MM fondant because I prefer the taste but when I dye it dark colors it breaks up. I have an airbrush but it would be nice to do some of the cakes with more mellow non airbrush colors. I'm wondering if anyone has the same problems. I can use it for small colors strips and so on but no to cover the whole cake. Any suggestions??? I would love any suggestions????

I have the same problem. I even tried the chocolate MMF to dye it dark and the same thing happens it just crumbles

i add my coloring to the melted marshmallows before adding the PS. Doing it this way allows a few different things to happen 1) less color used 2) less kneading the color, so you don't over work the fondant 3) Allows you to get the right consistency because you can adjust how much PS you put in.

I've added either flavored JELL-O or Candy Melts into the melted marshmallows to color it. It gives it a nice flavor and less coloring needed too. I've got both posted on my blog.

I to add my colour to my melted marshmallow, it gives you the option of adding more or less. For a shine to your colour you can add dust to it, it's so pretty.

Thanks for all of your help guys!!! I will try all of the above, I love being able to get help from my fellow cake lovers!!

Angelfood, I'm going to try the candy melts. I have put the color into the melted marshmallows but still the consistency isnt the same as when plain white is made.

Hmm...candy melts. I have to try that tomorrow.
