Oil-Soluble Food Coloring - Colour Mill Yellow

Oil-soluble food coloring in Yellow, 20 ml format

Colour Mill Yellow evokes the midday summer sun and sunflower petals. 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 worked with the warmth of your hands. Particularly popular with cake designers for cheerful, sunny children's birthday layer cakes and spring and summer brunch cupcakes, it delivers the distinctive, recognizable color of the Colour Mill (Australia) palette.

Made in Australia using proprietary pigment encapsulation technology, Colour Mill withstands baking temperatures of up to 180°C without changing color or fading. The Yellow color remains stable after baking, making it the go-to option for colored cake batters before they go 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.

Yellow: 3 shades according to 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 color evenly.
4. Resting and stabilization: let 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. Add incrementally to avoid oversaturation.

Yellow is highly saturated, so reserve it for children's birthdays and sunny festive events. For more subtle wedding cakes, choose Lemon, which is creamy. Combined with Black, Yellow creates the highly sought-after bee palette for bee-themed baby showers.
