Colour Mill Sunset Oil-Soluble Colourant 20 ml
Sunset shade, 20 ml bottle for fat-based ingredients
Colour Mill Sunset evokes the sunset over the Mediterranean Sea, with a twilight orange-red hue. This concentrated oil-soluble food colouring is designed for fat-based ingredients in baking: melted white chocolate, ganache, buttercream and fondant softened by the warmth of your hands. This shade is particularly popular for summer destination wedding cakes and birthday layer cakes with a hot-summer theme.

Frequently asked questions
Is this colouring resistant to baking in the oven?
Yes, the shade remains stable up to 180°C and does not lighten after baking, unlike many conventional liquid colourings.
How many drops should I use for 250 g of preparation?
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.
Separation has appeared in the 20 ml bottle—is this normal?
