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