More questions...How are most people getting the color black-to use for outlining their pictures? I used some candy colors but it took 3/4 of a jar (that cost $1) to color milk choc melts (about 3/4C of them-yikes!) Are the dk choc ones dark enough to pass for black? What about other colors, such as a dk blue and the melts are not avail in that color? It seems to take a lot of candy color to darken a small amount, which will really increase the cost of the cake. What am I missing?? icon_confused.gif

I use dark chocolate and tint it with black. It may not look very black, but unless you have drak brown in the design also, it looks fine.

Keep in mind that you don't HAVE to use black. I've seen some done in other colors (like a dark green filled in with a lighter green, etc) that looked VERY good.
