Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions, our advice
Does the black turn gray or purple after drying?
No, the E153 pigment is formulated to remain deep black after drying and crystallization, unlike low-quality colorings or homemade blends that turn gray or blue-violet.
Why choose powder instead of black gel food coloring?
The powder adds no moisture, which is essential for royal icing and fondant. It keeps longer and can be applied dry to create shading effects that are impossible with gel. Gel remains preferable for fatty mixtures such as ganache.
Is this food coloring suitable for frozen entremets?
Apply once the surface of the entremets has thawed, to crystallized mirror glaze or fondant. Avoid applying to a completely frozen surface, as condensation during thawing will cause the paint to run.
