I need some green fondant and would love to know if it's possible to change yellow fondant into green as I have loads of yellow that I am not using. I feel almost sure that it can be done but would love to know if anyone is certain. Thanks.

Add just a little blue fondant to your yellow till you get the color green you're looking for. HTH!

Take a tiny bit of yellow fondant and add a teensy amount of blue coloring. Mix well and see what you get. If you decide to color a large amount of fondant, start with a small amount of coloring--you can always add more, but you can't take it out! icon_smile.gif Also, the fondant may darken as it dries - you can test that with a small amount too.

If you want a dark green, you can also add a tiny amount of black.
