Lately I've been getting requests to design cakes with darker colors, navy blue, brown, etc. What is the best method for getting the fondant so dark???? It seems like I use SO much coloring (gel paste) in order to get it the color I want and it's still just a "little" lighter than desired.

Suggestions?

I am just getting in to fondant but I noticed the last time I was in my local cake supply store that they had black Satin Ice fondant. Depending on how it's tastes, I plan on buying those dark colors rather than making them myself.
