Your questions, our advice
Does the color hold after the icing has fully dried?
Yes, the shade remains stable after the royal icing has fully dried, around 24 hours, making it suitable for decorated cookies sold several days after they are made.
How much should I use for a highly saturated shade?
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 it rest between additions.
Does the 20 ml bottle have a dropper?
Yes, the soft cap has a dropper opening: a gentle squeeze dispenses one precise drop.
