Can anyone suggest a brand of coloring(s) to use to achieve a dark burgundy color? I tried the americolor but it is way to pink. The bride's color of burgundy is more of a brown hue rather than a rose. I have no idea how to get this color!!!!

Try adding a little brown to it. Or, the Americolor Maroon may be a little closer to what you need. HTH!

I agree about adding a little brown, that should do it

I am only using the color for a ribbon border on the base layer and a ribbon border and bow on the top layer. Do any of you think that I should use gumpaste instead of just regular fondant? I always use satin ice and it dries pretty good without ever adding anything to it.

I used wilton burgendy recently. It took a lot but did get really deep, especially after letting it stand for a few hours to deepen. I have two cakes in my pics that show the color, however I did buttercream not fondant.
