Yellow is a fat-soluble Colour Mill food coloring in a 100 ml format, the larger size in the range, designed for professional use or regular production, unlike the 20 ml bottle, which is more suited to occasional use. Its classic, bright yellow shade blends directly into fatty mixtures without affecting their texture or setting.
How many drops should I use to achieve a Yellow shade?
Use about four to six drops per 100 g of fat for a bold Yellow shade. Gradually add it to melted chocolate or lukewarm buttercream, mixing between each addition.
Is this Yellow food coloring suitable for sugar paste or royal icing?
Yellow is an oil-soluble food coloring formulated for fatty preparations: melted white, dark, or milk chocolate, cocoa butter, ganache, and buttercream. It is not designed for water-based preparations such as royal icing or sugar paste mixed with water, where it will not disperse properly. Keep it for fatty bases, particularly for Easter creations and summer decorations.
Does the 100 ml bottle keep as well as the 20 ml one?
Yes: when sealed and stored at room temperature, away from direct light and heat, Yellow food coloring stays stable for several months. The large size simply helps prevent running out during a busy spell of Easter creations and summer decorations.
