I was just wondering how everyone gets that jet black fondant color. I was wanting to do a cake using some black fondant but was worried that the amount of coloring I would have to use would ruin the consistency of the fondant. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! 
hello and welcome.
you could try americolor. i notice wilton black color seems to have a green tint. sometime even purple.
another option if its just for accents is to use wilton black fondant. but if you have alot of fondant work to do try satin ice black fondant.
hope this helps.
Using Americolor, it still takes quite a bit of it to get to black. A couple of hints: 1) start with your scraps of fondant and mix them together. it won't take as much to get black 2) add additional powdered sugar and shortening. When making any dark colors, I alternate between shortening and powdered sugar and color 3) when it gets to dark gray, let it sit overnight. The color will deepen overnight.
HTH!
Just wanted to say thanks for all of the suggestions. I didn't have time to order Americolor or black fondant so I tried tinting chocolate fondant black & it worked wonderfully! I was only using it for accents, but if I were doing a lot in black I would probably buy it. Thanks again!!
