Advice needed! Food colours suitable for coloring fondant

Hi friends... In my part of the world, it's very difficult to get food colours (gel or paste), only liquid colors are available which renders my job to colour fondant real difficult (I make marshmallow fondant at home).

So, I asked a friend to bring some colours from the States and he got me gel colours by Betty Crockers. I haven't used them yet (just got them now), but I've tried to dig any information on how to use them from the net or on the actual packs, but no help at all.

 

My questions are:

1. Do these gel colours colour fondant, or are they just used as piped off the tube?

2. If they don't colour fondant, can I use them to "paint" on fondant? Are they manageable or do they dry fast? Or would they melt the fondant on the cake?!!

3. What other surfaces can they be used on (if not fondant)?

 

He got me two types of them; big tubes with the word "Icing" and smaller tubes with the word "Gel" on them... I'm praying that the gel ones can be used to colour fondant :(

 

Appreciate your helpful advices & tips.
