Yes, by all means use butter cream icing, and I can not say it enough, the best food colouring on the market is WILTONS. They have all different colours including black.
It is a gel, not a liquid so your icing will not turn runny by adding to much colouring,and you need very little of it. No fuss, no muss of mixing up colours hoping that you will end up black.
Sure, you could use buttercream (getting black food colouring will be difficult so you could make it dark purple, grey, fudge icing or his fav colour). Or you could see if you could find black licorish or fruit wrap to cover the cake.
okay what you need is a dark colour then mix red and blue should be able to get them in shop and then should equal black
I'd go with a chocolate fudge frosting because it'll be less of a mess and much less complicated than making black. Plus, it is really delicious.
Did you try Michaels craft store, they cary colored fondant and cake colors.
