Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
How much food coloring is needed for a pastel shade?
A dab from a toothpick per 500 g of fondant or buttercream is generally enough for a pastel shade; increase gradually for a more intense color.
Is this gel food coloring suitable for chocolate?
No, this gel is formulated for aqueous or emulsified fatty mixtures (fondant, icing, cream). For chocolate, use an oil-based food coloring.
Does this blue darken significantly after application?
Yes, allow the fondant to rest for 30 to 60 minutes before assessing the final color, as the pigment continues to disperse.
