Fondant Dahlia Tutorial #2

Remember this post Fondant Dahlia Tutorial and how I promised I'd tell you how to add extra color to your fondant pieces?   I'm back to tell you how.

Using a new food safe spray bottle fill with about 1/4 cup vodka. I use a very small mister bottle that I found at Sur La Table a while back.  Add dye to the vodka and make it as dark as you wish.  Shake the bottle so it mixes well.  Make sure to spray in an area that you can clean up the dye. I did mine in my stainless steel kitchen sink. If you have porcelin you may want to do it over a bowl to protect your sink or even a piece of cardboard. Put on a glove and spray your fondant piece.  Let it dry for 24-36 hours.
