AI have always used marshmallow fondant, the white always comes out great and easy to work with but once I add coloring to it it cracks and crumbles. I use the Wilton color gels and I need to make a bright red later on today but again I'm scared of the way it will work out for me... I have always heard good feedback about the Wilton gels, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong...please help???

Jello or candy melts. I used candy melts to make my sons fireman hat cake last month. It's a very good starting pt but I still had to add quite a bit of gel color. The texture was fine though. Much better than without the help from the candy.
When I have to make red or black fondant I just buy precoloured as if I try to mix in all the colour, it gets over kneaded and dries which is what causes it to crumble and crack.
AThank u!! I will definitely try something new because I usually just end up throwing my fondant batches away if they do not work out and that is such a waste and it is so tiring to make them...i will definitely try all of these new things and see what works best for me...thanks again!! :D
I also color the marshmallows before adding the powdered sugar. It works out really well for rme. I made a red fondant that came out great, I was using the witon gel colors as well.
