COLOUR MILL
Colour Mill Sand Water-Soluble Food Coloring
Sand shade, 20 ml bottle for water-based mixtures
Colour Mill Water-Soluble Sand evokes sand dunes at sunset and deserted beaches. This water-based food coloring is designed for water-based baking mixtures: royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues, and macarons. It’s often used on royal icing cookies and wedding cakes with nature and boho themes, as well as cupcakes with a chic nomadic theme for events.

Your questions, our advice
Does the color hold after the icing has dried completely?
Yes, the color remains stable once the royal icing has dried completely, after about 24 hours, making it suitable for decorated cookies sold several days after they are made.
How much should I use for a richly 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, allowing it to rest between additions.
Does the 20 ml bottle have a dropper?
Yes, the soft cap has a dropper opening: simply squeeze to dispense a precise drop.
