I know this subject has been beaten to death but I still am having problems. My fondant pieces look dry and hard. I used 50/50, crisco on my hands and a small amount on my sill pat. Now what?

Hi: what recipe did you use? try adding a bit of water

I used wilton fondant ( had like 10 boxes given to me) and not sure of the brand of gumpaste. If I decide to use liquid food coloring would that be sufficent or still use a little water?
