You can make chocolate buttercream first then add your black and it does not take near so much. I hate working with black!! But during halloween it is a must! Good luck
I agree with cakecre8tor, starting with chocolate is the easiest (and tastiest) way. I usually use a dark chocolate or dutch process cocoa to make mine with, as it yields a darker color naturally, so you don't have as far to go.
Also, if you can get it, Americolor is best for coloring black and red. I've found I don't need nearly as much as the Wilton colors.
Good luck!

Yes..if you use gel colors like Americolor or chefmaster you only need a bit to get a dark black!!

Black cocoa here.
I also agree... Americolor rocks!
