Colour Mill - Fondant
Black Fondant 1 kg
1 kg format for complete coverage in deep black
Colour Mill Black Fondant 1 kg is a professional-quality ready-to-use fondant, coloured throughout: deep, opaque black with no grey reflection when rolled out. Soft texture, controlled elasticity, and smooth rolling without cracking or tearing.
The 1 kg format is designed for complete coverage: it covers a 20 to 25 cm diameter layer cake with extra allowance. It can be worked without excessive sticking to the work surface and retains its properties for several weeks after opening if properly resealed.

Recommended uses
- Complete coverage of layer cakes for Halloween and gothic themes
- Contemporary wedding cakes in a black and gold palette
- Birthdays and family celebrations with a striking dark base
Instructions
- Take the fondant out 30 minutes before use so it reaches room temperature, then knead it between your hands for 1 to 2 minutes to soften it
- Roll out on a work surface lightly dusted with icing sugar or cornflour: 3 mm thick for covering, 2 mm for fine decorations
- Place on the chilled cake (ganache or set buttercream), smooth from the top toward the sides with a smoother in circular movements; wrap the remainder directly against the surface and store in an airtight container
Please note: the cake must be completely chilled and smooth before covering: soft ganache or buttercream can cause the fondant to slip or become marked. Remove any remaining air bubbles with a fine needle rather than pressing the surface.
Frequently asked questions
Does this black fondant stain hands while working with it?
Highly saturated colours such as black may slightly stain damp hands; work with dry hands and a surface dusted with cornflour.
Is the 1 kg format enough for complete coverage?
Yes, for a 20 to 25 cm diameter layer cake with a comfortable allowance for adjustment.
Can this black fondant be paired with gold decorations?
Yes, it is a common combination: the black base highlights gold accents, pearls, and metallic ribbons.
