Hi, I'm Karen for Expert Village. Now we would add some color to our fondant. I'm going to
use this blue, I have chosen a color group called garden flower colors. I'm going to
make my cake a very light blue. So you take a toothpick and just coat it with the food
coloring. Just sort of dig it in into the fondant like this. Kind of stretching it and
rubbing it in there a little bit. Get all of the color off of there and then you fold
it onto itself and then continue to knead just like as you where soften it. You can
continue to knead that. As the color comes out you would see it would slowly turn blue.
Now you can use this technique if you want a stripe rating for your cake. You put the
color in and you roll and fold until you like the way that it looks. Then you can roll this
out and actually use something like this to cover your cake it is very pretty. I want
it to be a solid color so I'm going to continue to knead it in until the color is nice and
solid one color blue. You just squish it and roll it and do whatever you can to get the
color mixed in evenly. Now we would add some yellow to this piece. It is a smaller piece
I'm goign to use it for making the ribbons and bows. You just take a little bit of color
(my toothpick broke I would throw that one away). It is good to use if you need more
color use a fresh toothpick don't put a dirty toothpick or a use toothpick back into your
food coloring. Always put a clean one in and that way you would keep your colors clean.
Then you would just mix that in just like the other color.
