Oil-Soluble Food Coloring - Colour Mill Baby Pink

Oil-soluble food coloring in Baby Pink, 20 ml format

Colour Mill Baby Pink evokes rosy children's cheeks and peach blossom in spring. This oil-soluble food coloring is designed for fat-based pastry ingredients: melted white chocolate, butter ganache, buttercream, royal icing, and fondant worked with the warmth of your hands. Particularly sought after by cake designers for girls' baby shower layer cakes with Baby Pink whipped ganache and family celebration cupcakes with a cascade of buttercream rosettes, it delivers a distinctive shade recognizable from the Colour Mill (Australia) palette.

Made in Australia using proprietary pigment encapsulation technology, Colour Mill withstands baking temperatures of up to 180°C without shifting or fading. The Baby Pink shade remains stable after baking, making it the go-to option for colored cake batters before going into the oven. The 20 ml soft squeeze dropper bottle allows precise dosing for occasional use and shade testing, without waste in a small batch.

Baby Pink: 3 shades depending on the dosage

The shade can be subtly adjusted according to the dosage without losing its identity.

Instructions for use

1. Preparing the base: bring the fat-based mixture (white chocolate, ganache, buttercream) to 25–30°C. Above 35°C, some pigments may lose intensity.
2. Initial dosage: shake the bottle for 10 seconds. Add 2 to 4 drops per 250 g of mixture for pastel shades, 6 to 10 drops for vivid shades, and 15 to 25 drops for dark shades.
3. Mixing: whisk with a stand mixer or silicone spatula for 30 to 60 seconds to distribute the colour evenly.
4. Resting and stabilisation: leave to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature under cling film pressed directly onto the surface. The shade develops and reaches its full intensity during resting.
5. Optional adjustment: if the shade is too pale, add 1 to 3 additional drops and remix. Proceed in increments to avoid oversaturation.

Patissland Tip - Baby Pink

For girls' baby showers, the classic mistake is to saturate the design with 100% Baby Pink. Contemporary wedding cakes tend to use Baby Pink as an accent (30–40% of the design) on an ivory or off-white background. For girls' birthdays aged 4–8, an all-pink effect works very well when you vary the textures (smooth buttercream, sprinkles, drips).
