I would add black gel to the mmf. You will need to add some more powder sugar. So that it is not sticky.
alot of food color...its best to get black when you start out with chocolate fondant...but since you are doing with white alot of food color added bit by bit...lots of sugar so it won't get to sticky and make sure you have gloves. good luck!
What food color will you be using? If you're using Americolor - you might need at least half a bottle to get it really dark - if you're using Wilton - you need at least 2 - 3 full black containers of food color to make it really black.
You're best bet is to melt in some chocolate or if you can find the Nestle pre-melted chocolate, these work great too - just add a little at a time and add more powdered sugar as it becomes sticky. Then, after you've gotten it a nice brown color, add your black. I'd recommend using some gloves - otherwise your hands will turn bright pink (when you wash the black off, it leaves a pinkish stain on your hands). Good luck!
Also, wear gloves if kneeding the color in and use lots of Crisco. I usually microwave my MMF about 5 seconds to soften and then add the color, coat my surface and hands with Crisco and start kneeding. It works well and gives my consistant (sp??) color.
