Just add black dye to the chocolate icing, it will work fine! I do this all the time. I have a cookie cake in my photos. Take a look, it is very,very black! This was added to store bought icing.
My opinion I am not use to using store bought icing. It was runny for me. I think because I bought whipped icing..

German chocolate icing has coconut in it. I would make the real german cholcolate icing and the die it. But that icing is not easy to decorate with. True german choclate icing is lumpy and full of coconut. Im sure you could pull it off. GL

Thanks for your help. I wasn't going to decorate with it just wanted it to be black so they could use the headstone candles and things like that. Thank you so much and now I am off to try it out.
