Frequently asked questions
How many drops should I use to achieve the Merlot shade?
For a rich Merlot shade, several drops are needed (allow eight to ten drops per 100 g, or more depending on the opacity you want), especially with white chocolate. Add gradually and let the colorant disperse before assessing the result.
Is this Merlot colorant suitable for fondant or royal icing?
As an oil-based colorant, Merlot is formulated for fatty preparations: melted white, dark, or milk chocolate, cocoa butter, ganache, and buttercream. It is not designed for water-based preparations such as royal icing or fondant mixed with water, in which it will not disperse properly. Use it with fatty bases, particularly for autumn tiered cakes and elegant year-end finishes.
Is Merlot colorant heat-resistant?
As an oil-based colorant, Merlot is designed to be mixed into hot melted chocolate or warm ganache without affecting setting or texture, making it suitable for autumn tiered cakes and elegant year-end finishes.
