Making black fondant can seem super tricky but it's actually quite simple. I use my own marshmallow fondant recipe with a couple of small adjustments to make the perfect black fondant that does not rip or tear or get elephant skin.
Store your leftover fondant by wrapping it in plastic wrap and then placing into a ziplock bag. Store at room temperature. Always re-warm your fondant in the microwave for 30-40 seconds and condition with vegetable shortening before rolling out and covering a cake.
Fondant is too dry - Get your hands wet and work the moisture into the fondant to make it a little moister. You can also add 1tsp of glycerine if you have it.
Fondant is too sticky - Knead in more powdered sugar ½ cup at a time until it's not sticky. A little stickiness is normal. I like to dust my table with cornstarch to prevent sticking and grease my hands with vegetable shortening.
Fondant is tearing - Re-heat in the microwave until warm, pull like taffy until stretchy and smooth. You can also add a little vegetable shortening to your hands or add more pre-made fondant if it's not coming together.
