PME Cake - Ready-to-use icings
PME Cake Violet Icing for Cookies 120 g
Ready-to-use intense violet liquid icing in a flexible bottle with fine tip for decorating unicorns, mystical Halloween, princesses, and lavender flowers
The PME Cake Violet Icing for Cookies, flexible bottle format 120 g (4.25 oz), is a ready-to-use liquid icing with intense violet pigmentation, ideal for decorating unicorn and princess cookies, mystical Halloween cookies (witches, witch potions, galaxies), lavender flower cookies, Mardi Gras cookies, and all cookies with magical or nighttime themes.
The bottle is equipped with a fine tip with screw cap that allows precise dosing for outlines, fillings, names, unicorn patterns, flowers, and hand details. No additional equipment needed: no piping bag, no red and blue mixing to dose.
Deep violet is particularly difficult to achieve with homemade royal icing (red + blue mix is very technical, often drying to gray or brown). PME Cake Violet offers a stable deep violet that does not turn burgundy, gray, or brown after drying.

Why choose a ready-to-use purple
Purple is, along with red and black, one of the most difficult colors to achieve in homemade royal icing. The red + blue mix is technically unstable: overdosing = altered taste, bad shade (gray, brown, burgundy), icing liquefaction. PME Cake Violet solves these difficulties:
- • Stable deep purple: intense purple pigmentation after drying, without turning burgundy, gray, or brown
- • Neutral taste: no bitterness, unlike homemade icings overloaded with colorings
- • Controlled texture: stable consistency suitable for fine tracing and filling
- • Material savings: no need to buy 2 separate bottles of food coloring (red + blue)
- • Egg-free: egg white-free formula, suitable for customers allergic to eggs and for extended preservation
Purple, signature color for 4 business contexts
- • Princess and unicorn birthdays (all year): princess dresses, unicorn manes, fairies, friendly witches
- • Halloween mystique (October): witches, witch potions, black cats with purple accessories, galaxies, bats
- • Flowers and Botany (Spring-Summer): lavender, wisteria, lilac, iris, violets, stylized grapes
- • Mardi Gras (February): carnival masks (classic combination of purple + yellow + green for Louisiana Mardi Gras), colorful festive patterns
Purple is also very popular for galaxy effect cookies (combined with black and silver glitter), a strong trend in creative baking for several years.

Patissland tips for perfect purple cookies
Tip 1: the unicorn / princess combo = purple + pink + yellow
For girl’s birthday cookies with unicorn or princess themes, the winning combination is PME Cake purple (dresses, manes, fairy wings) + PME Cake pink (unicorn bodies, princess cheeks) + PME Cake yellow (stars, golden horns, crowns). This allows you to create a whole festive range. Stock these 3 colors together to meet girl’s birthday demand all year round.
Tip 2: use the mystical purple + black Halloween combo
For premium Halloween cookies, go beyond the classic orange + black with the purple + black combo: witches with purple capes, night galaxies, bats with purple wings, witch potions. This more mystical and elegant positioning attracts adult customers (themed parties, Halloween with friends) in addition to the traditional children’s clientele.
Tip 3: create a viral galaxy effect on social media
Galaxy effect cookies (purple + black + silver glitter + white stars) are a strong trend on Instagram and TikTok. Post 1 to 2 close-up photos per week of the galaxy cookies made in-store; this format is very viral and drives organic traffic and awareness to the bakery. Combine with a matte black background for maximum contrast.
Composition and nutritional information
Ingredients: sugar, water, corn starch, inverted sugar syrup, humectant (E422), emulsifier (E471), glucose, palm oil, flavoring, thickeners (E466, E406, E410), preservative (E202), colorants (E120, E133).
The intense purple color is achieved thanks to the combination of E120 (cochineal / carminic acid, a natural red dye of animal origin) and E133 (brilliant blue FCF, a synthetic blue dye approved for food use). The red + blue mix gives a stable purple color.
Note: this product contains E120 (cochineal / carminic acid), an animal-origin dye (insect extract). It is not suitable for vegan customers who exclude all animal-derived ingredients. It remains compatible with vegetarian and halal diets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the purple intense or does it lean towards burgundy?
PME Cake Purple Icing offers a deep and stable purple after drying, without turning burgundy, gray, or brown. This is precisely the advantage compared to homemade royal icing where the red + blue mix is very technical and often results in disappointing colors.
How many unicorn cookies can be decorated with one bottle?
For fully filled unicorn cookies (princess dresses, unicorn manes), 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 you the exact estimate based on your project.
Is the purple icing suitable for vegans?
No, the purple icing contains E120 (cochineal / carminic acid), a natural dye obtained from insects (cochineal). For strict vegan customers, direct them to the 3 vegan colors in the range: yellow, green, and chocolate brown. The product remains compatible with vegetarian, halal, and kosher diets.
Does the icing stain skin and clothes?
Purple stains moderately (less than red or black, more than yellow or green). On skin, rinse with water, disappears within a few hours. On light fabrics, immediate rinsing with cold water is essential before the stain sets. For children’s workshops, provide aprons and plastic tablecloths.
How long does complete drying take?
Surface drying in 30 minutes to 1 hour. Complete drying inside between 4 and 8 hours depending on the thickness of the icing and ambient humidity. For purple 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 unicorn, princess, or fairy birthday workshops. The flexible bottle with a fine tip is easy for children from 5-6 years old to handle (with supervision). Plan 1 purple bottle for every 3 children, plus pink, white, and yellow for unicorn/princess details.
Which colors go well with purple?
Purple pairs especially well with: pink (unicorns, princesses, spring flowers), yellow (stars, gold accents, crowns), black (mystical Halloween, galaxy, witches), white (mermaids, writing, luminous glitter), green (lavender with leaves, grapes with foliage). The PME Cake range comes in 9 colors to combine all moods.
How long does an opened bottle last?
Once opened and properly closed 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.
