Coloring Fondant is another fun task I enjoy doing. It is easy to do, but also has to be done carefully so that you can get the exact color tone you are a looking to get. Here's how to Color Fondant for Cake Decorating.
You'll need :
- White Fondant
- Food dye or coloring (liquid, powder or paste)
- Gloves (to prevent staining your hands with dye)
(dr. oetker food coloring , do not stain, I love using them)
Steps
1. Put on the gloves and knead the fondant until soft and form a ball; then lightly punch the ball a little in the center .
If you're using liquid food dye add one drop at a time and knead until you get your desired color.
3. Finally form into a ball and tightly wrap up the fondant in a nylon or plastic bag and place in a sealed container until you're ready to use.
Tip: Always color more than you need because it could be difficult to get the same shade or color tone if you finish with the one you have.

Deletewas the reminant of the pink fondant u made that u coloured?..Wasnt it difficult for u to get the colours as the fondant is not white?
ReplyDeleteNo it wasn't ,but I needed more color than I would have used if I was working with white fondant.
DeleteAnd the pink fondant I was using was a very light pink.
Please where can I get the exact food colour you used?
ReplyDeleteIt's dr oetker, I think you'll get it at park n shop, but feel free to use any good food color you find. Mine comes in paste, I think paste is better.
DeleteAnd can one use them for the cake itself, not just icing? If not which can I use?
ReplyDeleteYou can use it for both icing and the cake itself.
