Is it suitable for a winter- or ocean-themed cake?
Yes, its translucent blue color is ideal for the ice, wave, or sapphire effects sought for these themes.
Can it be combined with clear isomalt in the same piece?
Yes, you can pour both shades side by side or in successive layers while they are still malleable to create gradient or wave effects.
