Your questions, our advice
Is this food coloring suitable for royal icing?
Yes, that's its primary use: it's designed for water-based mixtures (royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues, macarons) and dries without a change in shade.
How many drops for 250 g of mixture?
Allow 2 to 4 drops for a pastel shade, 5 to 10 drops for a vivid shade, and up to 20 drops for a dark shade. It's best to add it gradually.
There's separation in the 20 ml bottle. Is that normal?
Yes, slight separation between the pigment and the carrier liquid is normal after prolonged storage: shake for 10 seconds before each use.
