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

Recommended uses
- Complete covering of layer cakes for Halloween and gothic themes
- Contemporary wedding cakes with a black and gold palette
- Birthdays and family celebrations with a striking dark background
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 powdered sugar or cornstarch: 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 using circular movements; wrap the remainder directly against the surface and store in an airtight container
Please note: the cake must be perfectly chilled and smooth before covering: ganache or buttercream that is still soft can make the fondant slide or leave marks. Release 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 shades such as black may slightly color damp hands; work with dry hands and a surface dusted with cornstarch.
Is the 1 kg format enough for complete covering?
Yes, for a 20 to 25 cm diameter layer cake with a comfortable margin for adjustments.
Can this black fondant be paired with gold decorations?
Yes, it is a common combination: the black background highlights gold accents, beads, and metallic ribbons.
