Add more black gel.
It's like lemonade.... If you want it sweeter, you have to keep adding sugar until it's the sweetness you want.

Are you using buttercream?
I made rolled buttercream (fondant) and dyed it black. It was really black. However, it was a little greasy but it did look cool- just like patent leather!

You make it correct....get it to a dark grey...then cover it and walk away from it for a few hours...the intensity of the color will darken and you wont have to end up adding more and risking the alteration of your yummy b/c flavor
