Looking for some advice/experiences.
I waited too long and have a cake due tomorrow that I need black fondant for. I went to my local store to buy Wilton Black fondant and they are sold out. I have some Wilton light brown and dark brown - should I use that to make black? Or I found a recipe on here for black fondant but I only have Wilton black -will that work in place of gel?
THanks in advance for any advice you can give me! ![]()
With Americolour superblack it's so black that you don't even need crisco to get a deep rich black colour. With Wilton black - I find I need to use (approx) 3 cups mini marshmallows, 2 tbsp dark chocolate chips - microwave it until melted, then add 3 tbsp crisco, 3 tbsp cocoa, 1/4 of a one oz jar of Wilton black and powdered sugar until it comes together nicely
I never measure though so my amounts might need to be tweaked a bit![]()
For the very best black MMF that you've ever tasted...try Rhonda's Ultimate Chocolate MMF (found here on cc - just search for black MMF on the recipe tab ). I have had nothing but raves over the taste! and very easy to make.
Forgot to say that I do add just a few drops of black Americolor to make it really black. ![]()
I have only made black fondant once, I used Wilton's black, but i used A LOT, almost the whole thing, and it was still deep gray. I have had this problem with BC too.. but I just bought Americolor Super Black for my next cake.. I asked about making black BC, people on here said to start with chocolate BC, so i dont see why you couldnt start with brown fondant...
