Colour Mill Dusk Water-Soluble Food Coloring
Dusk shade, 20 ml bottle for water-based mixtures
Colour Mill Water-Soluble Dusk evokes the powder-pink sky at twilight and a newborn's rosy cheeks. This water-based food coloring is designed for water-based baking mixtures: royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues, and macarons. It naturally belongs on royal icing cookies, romantic earthy wedding cakes, and cupcakes with baby shower glazes in a soft palette for a girl.
