Can I get some feedback from people who have tried alternate ways to color fondant? I have used coloring paste and gel. I was wondering what would happen if I tried using Americolor food coloring? Any other ideas?
I thought I would post it first rather than risk ruining expensive fondant.
Thanks for your experiences!

I watched decorators use Americolor and it worked well. You will need to add a bit more sugar or some cornstarch to absorb the moisture.
