I used Wilton black to color my RI but it has a funny taste b/c you have to use so much, is there another option other then buying already made black icing?

Try Americolor or chefmaster coloring.You need less and it doesn't taste bad.

I use Americolor exclusively. For RI, I color it in small batches. I've found that doing this way I can achieve a more intense color without losing my will to live in the process.

i've found that if i start with a chocolate buttercream (made with adding melted butter and dark chocolate, not just cocoa), i don't need to use nearly as much black food color to get a very pure black color. I've used wilton and americolor, and there is just a chocolate taste left behind.
