Coloring fondant is so easy. Take out the amount of fondant you will need. Dip a toothpick into food coloring. Dot the fondant and then knead it super well to be completely blended. You can roll the fondant and if it is not even, knead it some more.
For some real fun, color several piece of fondant in complimentary colors. Then very gently knead the colors together. Don't over do the kneading together or you will wind up with probably something yucky. If you do it right, you can have nice swirly looks.
Another way is to take each individual color and roll it between your hands to create a long round strip. Braid or twist together several color strips and lightly press together. Again don't over do mixing colors.

i think you can't make fondant clear unless you use some other type of ingredients to make it clear.

You can get it at most craft stores, Walmart (carrys wilton kind), wilton.com, and many other places. It is sort of expensive. I have heard the wilton kind isn't tasty. I have also heard that the best way to go is to make your own marshmellow fondant, (you can color it yourself). There are many recipes out there of that but i have never tried it.

Yes, you can substitute icing sugar with fondant icing sugar to make fondant icing, as both are powdered sugars. However, fondant icing sugar is specifically formulated for making fondant, often containing additional ingredients that help achieve a smoother texture and better elasticity. Keep in mind that the final texture and consistency may vary slightly depending on the specific brand and formulation of the fondant icing sugar used.
Gum paste is said to roll out thinner and easier than fondant. Fondant in usually used to cover a cake and gum paste is used to make decorations.
To fix a fondant cake defect, first assess the issue, such as cracks, tears, or uneven surfaces. For cracks, gently smooth the area with a bit of vegetable shortening or water, then reapply a thin layer of fondant if necessary. For tears, you can patch them with a piece of fondant that matches the color and texture. If the surface is uneven, use a fondant smoother to even it out, or lightly roll the fondant to make it more pliable.
store bought fondant is not as good as it looks. what i think is that homemade fondant is by far the best. bakers usually put butter cream to make it taste better. hope this helped.
