How do I get fondant black. Made my own MMF. Using Americolor. Will it get darker as it sits, or do I just keep adding the coloring? Thanks for the help.

If you let it sit over night or so it should deepen the color. If you add too much color you will get just a sticky mess.

Personally, I don't color my fondant black. I cheat n use the airbrush But if I do need some for accents I will relent and buy premade colored fondant (only stuff here is wilton)

Keep adding until you see the color you want. I use Americolor for black all the time and it seems to work well. I dont see or notice any change over time lighter or darker for the most part.

thanks everyone for the help.

I would suggest making a chocolate fondant-adding cocoa powder to the mix- to get a darker color to begin with, then you can use less of the food coloring and avoid as much mess or a bitter aftertaste. Unless someone's allergic to or doesn't like chocolate...

if you are making MMF then color your melted marshmallows BEFORE adding the PS, takes a lot less color, and it saves you from kneading and kneading and kneading and.... No more work than making white fondant.
