COLOUR MILL
Colour Mill Yellow Water-Based Food Colouring
Yellow shade, 20 ml bottle for water-based mixtures
Colour Mill Water-Based Yellow evokes the midday sun in summer and the sunflower. This water-based food colouring is designed for water-based baking mixtures: royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues and macarons. Cake designers often choose it for sunny birthday cookies with royal icing for children, and cupcake icing for spring and summer brunches.

Your questions, our advice
Is this food colouring suitable for royal icing?
Yes, that’s its main use: it’s designed for water-based preparations (royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues, macarons) and dries without changing colour.
How many drops 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 gradually.
There’s separation 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.
