Colour Mill Oil-Soluble Food Colouring Mauve 20 ml
Mauve shade, 20 ml bottle for fat-based ingredients
Colour Mill Mauve evokes the faded mauve of an old-fashioned garden and a powdery violet-pink. This concentrated oil-soluble food colouring is designed for fat-based pastry ingredients: melted white chocolate, ganache, buttercream and fondant softened by the warmth of your hands. It naturally complements sophisticated romantic vintage-themed wedding cakes and anniversary layer cakes (40 years).

Frequently asked questions
Does this colouring withstand oven baking?
Yes, the shade remains stable up to 180°C and does not lighten after baking, unlike many conventional liquid food colourings.
How many drops should I use per 250 g of mixture?
Use 2 to 4 drops for a pastel shade, 5 to 10 drops for a vivid shade, and up to 20 drops for a dark shade. It is best to add the colouring gradually.
