For colored fondant, add gel food coloring a drop at a time and knead thoroughly until evenly distributed. If the fondant becomes too stiff while working, microwave it in 5-second intervals until it softens slightly. Store leftover fondant tightly wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to a week.
