Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
Is Blazing Red food coloring oil-soluble, as needed for chocolate?
No. It is a water-soluble liquid food coloring (water- and glycerin-based): it is suitable for buttercream, icing, fondant and ganache, but does not mix with coating chocolate or pure fat. To color chocolate, use an oil-soluble powder food coloring.
What is the maximum recommended amount of Blazing Red?
The maximum recommended usage level is 1.3 g/kg. Adjust gradually using the dropper tip to control the color intensity.
Does Blazing Red require any special precautions?
Yes: it contains E124 (Ponceau 4R) and E102 (tartrazine), colorants subject to the EU regulatory warning regarding children’s activity and attention. Check the product label before using it in a preparation intended for children.
How do I use Blazing Red food coloring without making the mixture set?
Add the food coloring drop by drop directly to the prepared mixture (buttercream, icing, fondant), mixing between each addition rather than pouring in the full amount at once.
