This tutorial is for those beginners who never have colored fondant
or gumpaste. I have gotten many emails from beginners wondering why their
fondant/gumpaste is not reaching the desired color. In this tutorial, I explain
how to color white gumpaste in a deep shade of red. But keep in mind that this
works with any dark color you need.
No matter if you are using fondant or gumpaste, you
can follow the same steps. If your fondant gets too
soft, you can always let it rest for a few days.
If you need it in a hurry, I sometimes add more
sugar and at times I have added some Tylose
to it. It's a matter a preference.

I used Chefmaster color because their pigment is very strong. I love Americolor
too, but I have find out through experience, that Chefmaster red can get to a
deeper red. Never be scared of adding color to your fondant and keep in mind,
fondant and gumpaste are dry, get to be a bit lighter in color.
