Turquoise Gel Food Coloring

Recommended uses
- Fondant and marzipan: knead for 5 to 8 minutes, then let rest for 30 to 60 minutes to achieve the final shade
- Buttercream and royal icing: incorporate at the end of whipping, for 2 minutes at medium speed
- Ideal for a lagoon cake, mermaid decorations, a summer drip cake, or peacock feathers made from fondant
- Can also be diluted in a small amount of water for airbrushing or painting on dried fondant
Measure with the tip of a toothpick and incorporate gradually: the shade generally darkens after resting for 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the medium. This coloring contains one or more azo dyes (see composition above). In accordance with European regulations, their consumption may have an adverse effect on children’s activity and attention.
