Uses
- Dry brush application for shaded, charred, or dark gradient effects on figurines and flowers.
- Dilution in food-grade alcohol (neutral vodka, unsweetened kirsch) for edible painting with fine lines.
- Incorporation into royal icing for an even black color without thinning the consistency.
- Halloween-themed decorations, contemporary black-and-white weddings, or marbled designs on sugar paste.
Please note: never use water to dilute this powder, as it would soak the medium and melt the sugar. Instead, use neutral vodka, unsweetened kirsch, or a food-grade grain alcohol of at least 40% ABV.

Frequently asked questions
Will the black turn gray or purple after drying?
No. The E153 pigment is formulated to remain a deep black after drying and crystallization, unlike low-quality colorings or homemade mixtures that turn gray or blue-purple.
Why choose powder over black gel coloring?
The powder adds no moisture, which is essential for royal icing and sugar paste, keeps longer, and allows dry application for shaded effects that are impossible with gel. Gel remains preferable for high-fat preparations such as ganaches.
Is this coloring suitable for glazed entremets?
Apply it once the surface of the entremets has thawed, on crystallized mirror glaze or fondant. Avoid applying it to a raw frozen surface, as condensation during thawing would cause the paint to run.
