PME Cake - Ready-to-use Icings
PME Cake Orange Cookie Icing 120 g
Ready-to-use bright orange liquid icing in a flexible bottle with fine tip for Halloween, autumn, and children's cookie decoration
The PME Cake Orange Cookie Icing, flexible bottle format 120 g (4.25 oz), is a ready-to-use liquid icing with bright vivid orange pigmentation, ideal for Halloween cookie decoration (pumpkins, squashes, autumn leaves), autumn cookies (maple, dead leaves), brightly colored children's birthday cookies, and all festive pastries with an orange theme.
The bottle is equipped with a fine tip with screw cap that allows precise dosing for making outlines, fillings, names, pumpkin motifs, squashes, suns, and hand details. No additional equipment needed: no piping bag, no whisk, no yellow and red mixing to dose.
Ideal size for Halloween pumpkin cookie decoration, seasonal autumn cookies in shops, themed children's baking workshops, and sun, apricot, papaya, or tropical cookies for summer. The bright vivid orange color is particularly difficult to achieve with homemade royal icing (unstable yellow and red mix), this ready-to-use icing definitively solves the problem.

Orange, signature color for 3 commercial contexts
PME Cake orange icing is positioned in 3 main commercial contexts. Dominant seasonal color for autumn, it is also a bright color highly demanded in children's bakery:
- • Halloween (October): pumpkins, squashes, maple leaves, Jack-o'-lantern, orange ghost outlines
- • Autumn (September to November): autumn leaf cookies, maple, stylized chestnuts, sunrise
- • Children's birthdays: sun cookies, balloons, orange cars, Tyrannosaurus dinosaurs, orange fruits
- • Tropical summer: stylized apricots, papayas, mangoes, suns, fruit-themed summer cookies
Orange is also positioned as a complement to black for Halloween: classic signature duo black + orange for ultra-impactful cookies.

Patissland tips for perfect orange cookies
Tip 1: the winning Halloween duo = orange + black
For Halloween cookies, the orange + black combination is the signature combo. Orange pumpkins with black smiling Jack-o'-lantern faces, orange maple leaves with black writing, orange suns with black outlines. Stock 1 orange bottle + 1 black PME Cake bottle side by side starting in September for the Halloween season.
Tip 2: create autumn gradients with orange + yellow + red
For maple leaf or sunset cookies, first apply PME Cake red on an area, then orange on top by blending, then yellow in the center. Work quickly before drying. Guaranteed gradient autumn effect for October-November shop windows.
Tip 3: use orange in permanent children's bakery
Orange is not just a Halloween color: it is highly requested for children's dinosaur-themed birthdays (T-Rex), wild animals (lions, tigers, foxes), superheroes (Spider-Man), vehicles (cars, fire trucks). Keep 2 to 3 bottles of orange in store to meet these demands year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the orange lean towards yellow or red?
PME Cake Orange Icing offers a bright orange balanced, slightly warmer than neutral, ideal for Halloween pumpkins and maple leaves. It does not lean towards neon yellow or brick red. For a paler orange (apricot, peach), mix with a little PME Cake white.
How many pumpkin cookies can be decorated with one bottle?
For fully filled Halloween pumpkins, 1 bottle covers about 30 medium cookies. For fine outlines and writing on a white background, up to 240 cookies. The calculator at the top of the page gives the exact estimate based on your project.
Is the orange icing suitable for vegans?
No, the orange icing contains E120 (cochineal / carminic acid), a natural dye obtained from insects (cochineal). For strict vegan customers, choose PME Cake colors without E120. The product remains compatible with vegetarian, halal, and kosher diets.
Does the icing stain skin and clothes?
Orange stains less permanently than red or black but can leave temporary marks on skin (rinse with water, disappears in a few hours) and on light fabrics. For children’s workshops, provide aprons and plastic tablecloths in case of heavy use.
How long does complete drying take?
Surface drying in 30 minutes to 1 hour. Complete drying between 4 and 8 hours depending on the thickness of the icing and ambient humidity. For orange cookies to be wrapped in cones or gift boxes, wait at least 8 hours to avoid sticking.
Is it suitable for children in baking workshops?
Absolutely, it’s even the ideal use for Halloween, autumn, and kids’ birthday workshops (dinosaurs, animals). The flexible bottle with a fine tip is easy for children from 5-6 years old to handle (with supervision). Plan 1 orange bottle for every 3 children, plus black and green for Halloween details.
Which colors go well with orange?
Orange pairs especially well with: black (Halloween, Jack-o'-lantern pumpkins), green (autumn leaves, pumpkins with green stems, carrots), yellow (suns, autumn gradients), red (fire effect, sunset, maple leaf gradients), white (Halloween ghosts, white background contrast). The PME Cake range comes in 9 colors to combine all atmospheres.
How long does an opened bottle last?
Once opened and properly resealed after each use, the bottle can be kept until the best before date indicated on the packaging (usually 12 to 18 months after production). Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat. Shake vigorously before each use to re-homogenize the contents.
