I don't know where you live, but if there is a "Michael's Craft and Floral" in your town, they carry the 'Wilton' brand baking & decorating suppies for cakes and such. 'Wilton' makes black food coloring.
If you don't have a Michael's, then call your local craft stores to see if they carry 'Wilton' brands.
Good luck

Personally, black color is not a nice tasting icing, so to offset that taste, I suggest you use chocolate icing. You will still need to use the black tint but not so much of it. or use a white frosting and tint it black with paste food colors. You can usually find the black paste food colors in the crafts dept of Wal-Mart. The company that puts out a good one is Wilton. Use powdered food coloring in addition to the paste food coloring. The powdered makes a richer color without adding the bitter taste. You can purchase the powdered food coloring at most cake, cookie, or candy making supply stores. Hope this helps. Good Luck

Start with a very dark canned chocolate frosting, then add a bit of blue food coloring. Stir it in until it looks right. It'll be very close to black.
There is also black gel frosting for decorating, but it comes in really tiny tubes and is somewhat sheer.

in my opinion, black colour isn't a valuable tasting icing, as a thanks to offset that flavor, I advise you employ chocolate icing. you'll nevertheless opt to apply the black tint yet not a lot of it. or use a white frosting and tint it black with paste food colors. you could frequently locate the black paste food colors in the crafts dept of Wal-Mart. the organization that places out a good one is Wilton. Use powdered food coloring to boot to the paste food coloring. The powdered makes a richer colour without including the bitter flavor. you could purchase the powdered food coloring at maximum cake, cookie, or sweet making furnish shops. wish this permits. good success

black coloring that can be added to white frosting can be found in specialty shops that sell chocolate that you make candy with, cake molds, etc. also in the larger department stores in their kitchen goods section. I have bought it, comes in liquid or a tube. i have made a cake with checkered racing flags on it. black and white.

Get black dye paste for dyeing frosting. it comes in a little tub or a tube its like super concentrated dye. it's better than liquid dye because the color turns out more vibrant.You could probably find this in a really large supermarket or Michal's or someplace like that. Hope my answer helped you!
P.S. black frosting sounds cool.

Michael's and Wal mart carry a black food coloring paste that will work just fine. If you don't have these stores in your area any store that carries the Wilton line of products will have it.

go to walmart or michaels (in the cake decorating area) and you should be able to find black food gel. Add it to white frosting for black icing!
