For darker colours like black, bright red & bright green I buy it pre coloured as it's harder to mix the darker colours. These colours in fondant are more sticky due to the dye content so I usually mix a little white fondant through it to make it easier to work with. It can be sticky to work with & changes depending on the weather in your area - it absorbs moisture from the air so can be sticky to work with but it normally dries when exposed to air so you need to wrap excess fondant up in cling wrap and then a zip lock bag.

It may be hard when you take it out of its packaging so you would need to knead it to make it more workable as it warms up and becomes softer and sticker in your hands. To stop the stickiness of fondant you can dust your surfaces with corn flour. It comes in many brands - I use Bakels Pettinence Icing but there are many other brands like Satin Ice and Orchards.

Tools I used are listed below:

Non stick place mat (or flat non stick chopping board)
Non stick small rolling pin
Corn flour bag for dusting (handkerchief with corn flour in it tied up with a rubber band)
Off set spatula
Palate knife and / or pointy craft knife
Thick, Medium & Thin Straws
Scissors
Toothpicks
Water in small container and small brush (or edible glue with brush)
Black food dye in small bowl with thin brush (or edible food marker)
Lego toy figurine (optional- to guide your modelling)
Red fondant icing
Green fondant icing
Yellow fondant icing
White fondant icing
Blue fondant icing
Food dyes (if you are colouring your white fondant)

This is so great and very helpful to me, as my husband is a Lego lover, I will definitely try making a Lego cake for his 40th birthday.  Thanks for making it easy and sharing the creative thoughts.
