I would like to try making some colored fondant to make characters, flowers, etc. I find the prices of premade fondant outragious and it just doesn't taste that great!
It is probably posted somewhere, but does anyone have a recipe for colored fondant, that you can mold with your hands, etc?
Thanks!
Try this article....it's a great alternative to buying that yucky stuff off the shelf. Works great....

Good luck!
I felt the same, about the cost of the ready to use fondant. I went to the website that lilscakes suggested, and checked out the recipe it's great! I've seen some other ones, but most of them I thought involved to much, like buying glycerin and such, but this recipe is just as easy as making the buttercream icing, the same ingredients almost, except the marshmallows. I can't wait to try it out now!!

you should be able to just knead in the coloring, same as with the ready to use fondant. I use the same coloring that I use in my buttercream icings.

Yes you can color it. It is as easy as kneading in the color. I would use Americolor. You get a much better color and you don't have to use as much as Wilton.
It is so easy to make that I made 3 batches within 30 minutes this afternoon.
