Colour Mill Violet Oil-Soluble Food Coloring 20 ml
Violet shade, 20 ml bottle for fat-based mixtures
Colour Mill Violet evokes crystalline amethyst and a violet stormy sky. This concentrated oil-soluble food coloring is designed for fat-based baking mixtures: melted white chocolate, ganache, buttercream, and fondant softened by the warmth of your hands. This shade is particularly popular for mystical and witch-themed cupcakes and sophisticated adult Halloween layer cakes.

Start with 5 to 10 drops per 250 g of mixture and adjust in increments of 2 to 3 drops until you reach the desired shade, letting the mixture rest between additions.
