Hi, I bought some ready made fondant from Goldaskitchen.com I am having some problems coloring it and wonder if anyone else has or have any suggestions on what's going wrong.
I first tried to color some violet, using wilton violet color. It came out baby blue, although my hands were purple and any time I have used the color for bc, it has come out purple, so I know it's not my color.
today I tried to use it again, this time to get pink. I used my burgundy which I had just used to color my gumpaste, and this time the fondant came out purple...
It seems to pick up the blue in the color? ![]()
Anyone else ever have a problem Like this?
Anyone have a suggestion what might be going on?
The fondant is goldas, but someone suggested that it may be mccalls.
I've had this problem also, using Pettinence fondant. I tried to make black and it was purple and my red was hot pink - this after adding almost an entire bottle. I had to end up airbrushing on color. Since then I've switched to marshmallow fondant and haven't had any problems with coloring. I wish I had some suggestions about what went wrong, but wanted you to know that you're not the only one!
I use mmf and the only thing I can think of is that you aren't using enough of color. I had similar problems. Try using a small piece of the fondant and test color before mixing the whole batch, using a little color at a time. That's what I do to try and find the color I like.
