Colour Mill Water-Soluble Food Colouring Dusk
Dusk shade, 20 ml bottle for water-based mixtures
Colour Mill Water-Soluble Dusk evokes a powder-pink sky at dusk and a newborn's rosy cheek. This water-based food colouring is designed for water-based pastry mixtures: royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues, and macarons. It naturally belongs on royal icing biscuits, romantic earthy wedding cakes, and baby shower cupcakes with a soft pink palette.
