I am making a cake for my graduation from Texas A&M and was wondering the best way to get my fondant the color Maroon. Any suggestions? should i buy red fondant and color it from there or what?? thanks and gig'em!
my co-worker accidentally got maroon when he added red to his chocolate buttercream. i'm sure you can certainly buy coloring gel in maroon, but that might work in a pinch.
he has his photos here:

Americolor actually sells a maroon color.

Could help me understand the phrase 'gig'em!'. Not trying to be disrespectful, I just don't know what it means. My background, that phrase involves dark nights with extremely bright spot lights, a spear like apparatus and frogs.
WHOOP!!!
As a former student, I might be able to shed some light on this one. lol
You are right as to what "gigging" actually is. It is hunting frogs at night using a type of pitchfork/trident looking thing. BUT the Aggies have used this saying after playing a game against the TCU Horned Frogs in 1906. This was a cry to attack them accompainied by the thumbs up sign. Coincedentally this was also the first hand sign of the Southwest Conference.
So, Gig 'em Aggies! WHOOOP!!!!!! LOL

I just quizzed my brother and his wife (both Aggies) about "gig 'em". He didn't remember what the story was but my sister-in-law worked freshman orientations so she told me how it all started!
