Visit www.piece-a-cake.com/how-to-make-fondant.html for complete instructions. Coloring fondant is always fun to me. I love to paint and see color go on a wall. Fondant is just the same. I love to see a colorful cake.I’ve been taught to use gel coloring for fondant but I have experimented with regular coloring, as you would use for icing or dying eggs. You don’t have to use a lot, just a few drops. When coloring, you will have to knead the dough for several minutes to get just the color your looking for and even adding more if needed. This procedure is the most fun to me; I get an arm work out along with getting out my frustrations, LOL. I call it my stress therapy.
