Can I Paint Dryed Fondant With Food Color Gel?

I've done it --it can be kinda thick so it's kinda streaky--I shoulda thinned mine with some alcohol. Lemon extract, almond extract, everclear, vodka something like that to thin it.
It eventually dried took a while though.
depends on what coloring you're using, I use americolor gels and they're the perfect consistency right out of the bottle and they dry in about 10 minutes (and I really glob it on sometimes lol) and have a nice sheen to them once dry and they're not tacky whatsoever!!!
Here are some things I've painted using them on fondant, and the cookies are royal
Nice to know that I could also use it straight from the bottle! Thanks! 
Oh my your flowers are incredible. I wish I could paint like that. WOW. They are beautiful.
On a separate did anybody know that they make vanilla flavored vodka? I really don't get out much. Can you use flavored vodka or should it be plain old vodka?
Oh WOW I love what you were able to do. You are an artist. Not everyone can make it look so beautiful. I mean you didn't find paint by number cookies somewhere did you? I love them and the cakes you are an inspiration.

Wow!! These just look too perfect! Did you trace with something first? What did you use to place your RI so perfectly on your cookies?
Vanilla Flavored vodka is actually sold at liquor stores. You don't have to make it from scratch.
AWhat is the taste like (when eaten as a whole) when you painted using the gel alone and the one thinned with alcohol? What type of brush did you use? Thanks
