I haven't been able to find an answer for this. Maybe it's just me. I'd like to use a smidge of black for an outline. When I tried to tint some icing, it came out very dark grey but not black. The more I added the naster it tasted, very bitter. Any ideas will be most appreicated!

Try using cocoa powder to mask the taste. Add it first to make a deep brown then add the black. You might need to ad a bit more liquid to the icing because the cocoa powder may leave it a bit dry. You can adjust the consistancy once you have the color you need.
When you mix the black into your icing - take a smidge of it and put it on a paper plate or something like that. Let it set out for about 1/2 hr and look at the color. Color's always darken as they set. When I make red - it always looks like a deep orange until I let it set a little while. I always get a deep, deep red after letting it set for a while. Coloring is tricky.
