Oil-Soluble Colorant – Colour Mill Rose 20ml

Colour Mill

Oil-Soluble Food Coloring - Colour Mill Pink

Oil-soluble food coloring in Pink, 20 ml format

Colour Mill Pink evokes a rose petal in the late morning and oriental rose water. This oil-soluble food coloring is designed for the fat-based ingredients used in baking: melted white chocolate, butter ganache, buttercream, royal icing, and fondant softened by the warmth of your hands. Particularly sought after by cake designers for traditional French romantic-themed wedding cakes and Mother's Day cupcakes with buttercream rosettes, it offers 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 Pink color remains stable after baking, making it the reference choice for cake batters colored before going into the oven. The 20 ml soft squeeze dropper bottle allows precise dosing for occasional use and color testing, without waste when preparing small batches.

Pink: 3 shades depending on the dosage

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

Instructions for use

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 colour evenly.
4. Resting and stabilisation: 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 remix. Add incrementally to avoid oversaturation.

Patissland Tip - Rose

Rose is more saturated than Baby Pink and warmer than Blush, making it the quintessential classic feminine pink. Ideal for Mother's Day, wedding anniversaries, and all occasions associated with French romantic tradition. Pair it with Sage and Eucalyptus for French garden-themed wedding cakes.
