Oil-Soluble Food Coloring - Colour Mill Candy

Oil-soluble food coloring in Candy shade, 20 ml format

Colour Mill Candy evokes fairground cotton candy and Hubba Bubba pink chewing gum. This oil-soluble food coloring is designed for fat-based baking ingredients: melted white chocolate, butter ganache, buttercream, royal icing, and fondant warmed by hand. Particularly sought after by cake designers for signature drip cakes for children's birthdays aged 4–12 and cake pops and candy bars for children's parties, it delivers a distinctive shade recognizable from the Colour Mill palette (Australia).

Made in Australia using proprietary pigment encapsulation technology, Colour Mill withstands baking temperatures of up to 180°C without changing color or fading. The Candy shade remains stable after baking, making it the go-to option for colored cake batters before going into the oven. The 20 ml squeeze dropper bottle allows precise dosing for occasional use and shade testing, with no waste when preparing a small batch.

Candy: 3 shades depending on the dosage

The shade can be subtly adjusted according to the dosage without losing its identity.

Instructions for use
