Tint a small ball or enough fondant to cover a whole cake. As with any icing, tint colors at one time; matching colors later may be difficult. Add just a little of the concentrated icing color at a time, until you arrive at the exact shade you want.
If you'd rather not mix color yourself, use pre-tinted fondant in a variety of pastel, primary, neon and natural shades.
Any type of flavoring can be used — regular food flavors (vanilla, almond, etc.) or candy flavorings. Candy flavorings are very concentrated and should only be added by drops. Flavor the fondant lightly so it does not detract from the flavor of the cake.
Steps:
step 1: add dots of color
Roll fondant into a ball, kneading until it's soft and pliable. Using a toothpick, add dots of icing color or drops of flavor in several spots.
step 2: knead color
Knead color or flavor into your fondant ball. We suggest using food-safe gloves when coloring fondant to keep your hands stain-free.
step 3: knead until blended
Continue kneading until color is evenly blended; add a little more color or flavor if needed.
