You want to first make your icing a nice shade of gray. Using the black paste or gel food coloring, mix in small amounts of color until you reach a medium shade of gray. Dip a clean toothpick into the color, or squeeze out a small amount if using gel in a tube or bottle.
Next, add the black powder color a few sprinkles at a time and mix it in until it starts to look black. Walk away for about 10 minutes and it will be dark black when you return.
How to make Dark Blue
What you will need:
-royal blue
darkfall gold sale paste or gel concentrated food coloring
-blue powder color
-toothpick
When making dark blue it is best to start with royal blue paste or gel as your base. There are several shades of blue available, but royal blue produces the best results.
Dip your toothpick in the food color, or squeeze a small amount from the tube or bottle if using gel. Mix it in. Add color until you reach a nice "true" blue color. True blue to me is like the blue on the American flag, a nice medium shade of blue.
Now, sprinkle the powder color in a little at a time and mix it in until the icing starts getting darker. Set it to the side and come back in ten minutes. It will darken as it sits.
If you are trying to
darkfall gold make navy blue, add a very small touch of black paste or gel color. When I say very small I mean literally just a touch of it. This will deepen it enough to make it a dark navy blue.
Use the paste/gel food color and powder food color combination to make all of your dark colored icing. It will save you a lot of time and frustration.
