knead.... knead....knead!!!!!!

I will usually coat my hands with crisco so that the color doesn't stain my hands as bad... seems to wash off better this way...

Good luck!!!

I second that!! Also add color slowly till you get the exact color you want, because there is no going back! icon_smile.gif

Same thoughts here....add color slowly, you don't want to end up with something totally off then what you wanted. I use the crisco to keep it from sticking to my hands when kneading.

I use disposable gloves when I first add the color to my fondant and once I have kneaded the color in, I remove the gloves and knead it again!
