Oil-Soluble Food Coloring - Colour Mill Fuchsia

Oil-soluble food coloring in Fuchsia, 20 ml size

Colour Mill Fuchsia evokes Mediterranean bougainvillea flowers and an Indian ceremonial sari. This oil-soluble food coloring is designed for rich pastry bases: melted white chocolate, butter ganache, buttercream, royal icing, and fondant warmed by hand. Particularly sought after by cake designers for flamboyant Indian or Mediterranean wedding cakes and event cupcakes for galas and themed parties, it delivers a distinctive color 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 Fuchsia color remains stable after baking, making it the go-to option for colored cake batters before they go in the oven. The 20 ml soft squeeze dropper bottle allows precise dosing for occasional use and color testing, with no waste on a small batch.

Fuchsia: 3 shades depending on the dosage

The color 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 vibrant 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 color evenly.
4. Resting and stabilization: leave to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature under cling film placed directly on 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 mix again. Proceed in increments to avoid oversaturation.

Patissland Tip - Fuchsia

Fuchsia is the quintessential color for Indian and Middle Eastern weddings. Combine it with Gold lustre for golden accents echoing the jewelry. For girls' nights and girly birthdays, Fuchsia + Hot Pink + Gold sprinkles is the signature palette. It is not suitable for baby showers or February 14, which call for softer tones.
