Does anyone have anytips for a newbie on how to dye MMF? 
Thank you!!
I've found it pretty easy to color. Just the same as you would with buttercream, except that you will get it all over your hands as you knead it in, so take precautions there 
. People are used to knowing what color of cake I'm working on by looking at my hands . One more thing though - use gel, not liquid dye. The liquid will make your fondant sticky.
thank you! I've never dyed BC either though. Is there some magic formula or mix till you get a color? And if your trying to make a color, do you mix the two dyes seperate to see if you get the color then add the the BC or fondant?
Wilton or Americolor make gel paste in almost any color you could want! A little goes a long way, so start adding with a toothpick. You can always add more to get a deeper color.
There are a couple of different ways to color you MMF.
#1) After melting your Marshmallows, you can add the color. Not as hard as mixing in the "play-doh" stage, If you are going to be using lots of different colors, you might want to make mini batches. After you add the color to the melted Marshmallows, start adding the podwered sugar. When I get it to the stage that I need to mix by hand, I put on the rubber gloves to keep the color from transferring to my hands. Once the color is mixed in well, you can then remove the gloves and work with the dough without any color transferring to your skin.
#2) Go ahead and make your MMF and get it to the consistency that you want. Divide out the portion that you want to make a certain color, get the gel color, a toothpick and gloves. Put the gloves on and dip the toothpick into the color and put it on the MMF you are coloring. Then, start kneading the dough until the color is even. If you haven't acheived the color you want, add more and repeat the kneading until again all color is incorporated. Using the gloves protects the color from transferring to you skin. After the color has been incorporated real good, you can take the gloves off and work with it without color transferring.
I hope this helps you. I just learned by trial and error.

I color my fondant in much the same manner but I hate the way the gloves make my hands sweat and since I have to have clean hands for my real job. I grease my hands up with Crisco and then start the coloring process. I regrease my hands every time I add more color.
If you're going to have the MMF all one color then the time to add the color is right after the marshmellows are melted and you're stirring them. If you want only a portion of the MMF colored, use color gel and WEAR GLOVES. Yes, your hands may sweat, but they will be a normal color when you're finished. Be sure to rub Crisco on the gloves and the work surface, it makes everything so much easier. Good luck and have fun. MMF is wonderful to work with.
