Colour Mill Lavender Water-Soluble Food Colouring
Lavender shade, 20 ml bottle for water-based mixtures
Colour Mill Hydrosoluble Lavender evokes the lavender fields of Provence and the Parma violet hues of Berry. This water-based food colouring is designed for water-based baking mixtures: royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues and macarons. It fits naturally on royal icing cookies for rustic Provence-themed wedding cakes and spring brunch cupcakes with sugar flowers.
