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