Oil-Soluble Food Coloring - Colour Mill Blush

Oil-soluble food coloring in Blush shade, 20 ml format

Colour Mill Blush evokes powder pink makeup on brides and newborn cheeks. This oil-soluble food coloring is designed for fat-based pastry ingredients: melted white chocolate, butter ganache, buttercream, royal icing, and fondant warmed by hand. Particularly sought after by cake designers for contemporary wedding cakes in nude, blush, and natural gold and premium event cupcakes for receptions and galas, it offers 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 lightening. The Blush shade remains stable after baking, making it the go-to option for cake batters colored before going into the oven. The 20 ml soft squeeze dropper bottle allows precise dosing for occasional use and shade testing, without waste when preparing small batches.

Blush: 3 shades depending on the dosage

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

Instructions for use

3. Mixing: whisk with a stand mixer or silicone spatula for 30 to 60 seconds to distribute the color evenly.
4. Resting and stabilization: let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature under plastic wrap pressed directly against the surface. The shade develops and fully reveals itself 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 - Blush

Blush is THE signature color for 2024–2025 wedding cakes on Pinterest. Always pair it with Nude, Latte, or Caramel to stay within the current earthy palette. The pitfall: if overdosed, Blush can easily turn Barbie pink. Use 1–2 drops per 500 g of buttercream, no more.
