darker colors tend to get sticky because you have to add ALOT and i mean ALOT of bottles/gels
use powdered sugar to help the mushy part.
did you buy it? or make it?
if you are making the fondant @ home its easiest to mix it in before forming the dough :]
GOODLUCK!
when I want black fondant, i started with chocolate fondant... then later I got lazy coloring, so I buy my fondants colored. Altho I don't buy all the colors, I just buy one that is my main color and buy a white one and tint whatever I need.
The next batch you make mix the darker colors like red & black before forming the dough
you use the powdered sugar while rolling and handling the dough - cover your work surface & hands with the sugar or sprinkle it on the dough itself. LITTLE by LITTLE & if you accidently add too much and it dries out just use a little shortening
remember any of this while slightly alter the taste whether it makes it sweeter or what not.
Use americolor brand...don't have to add too much
