Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
How much food coloring is needed for a pastel shade?
A toothpick tip for 500 g of fondant or buttercream is generally enough for a pastel shade; add more gradually for a more intense color.
Is this gel food coloring suitable for chocolate?
No, this gel is formulated for water-based or emulsified fatty preparations (fondant, icing, cream). For chocolate, use an oil-based coloring.
Is this burgundy suitable for mirror glaze?
It colors water- and sugar-based icings such as royal icing; for a gelled mirror glaze, check that the base is compatible before adding.
