I am making fondant and I can not get a good rich blue color. I have used royal blue Wilton gel and also added a little Navy Blue to get it darker and it didn't help. What should I do. It is for a Batman Cake - so I need it very blue - not on the baby blue side. Please help!
Have you tried a little black?
That is usually what i do for the darker colors. Seems to work!
I use Americolor brand colors. MUCH better than the Wilton colors. Sounds like you need to just keep adding more color. Large amounts of fondant, especially for the darker colors, require more coloring than regular icing does. Add more royal blue and try adding a little sky blue and violet, too. If it starts to get sticky, knead in some powdered sugar.
Americolor Navy may get you the color you are looking for. I saw an awesome Batman cake on here today it had the perfect shade of blue. Maybe check out the gallery and PM a few people to see if they will share what they used.
