I need to make some figures using a fondant/gumpaste mixture so they will dry hard. But the fondant I'll be using is black and I need it to stay that way - I worry it'll turn gray when I mix it with the gumpaste. Should I just add black coloring to the mixture or will that make it too sticky? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Hi. Turning gp or fondant black is very very hard, same with dark purple and red! I buy those colors. I know it is a bit more expensive but it really saves me time! Unless I was doing the entire cake in black it is not that much! Otherwise, start with brown and add black that way you do not use so much black that it becomes sticky! Hope this helps!
I actually plan on buying black fondant for covering the cake, then I want to mix some of that fondant with gumpaste to make some figures for the cake that will need to be sturdy. I'm worried that mixing the two will create a gray mixture ... unless ... is it possible to buy black gumpaste?
