Marbled Fondant for NDeRC, an experience in dye darkening.

 This was my first attempt to make a marbled fondant, which I saw on one of the Food Network shows.  


I took the fondant and mixed in blue and yellow until I got enough of a spread that it looked green(ish) and then stopped mixing it.  


The coolest thing about this very easy process is that the dye always darkens over time, so what starts out as "light" ends up being very colorful by the end of the day.



I still hadn't really figured out how to make the fondant smooth on the edges, thus they are still puckered.  But, I decided to invest a fondant molding tool and started researching methods for manipulating it!
