Liposoluble Coloring - Colour Mill Baby Blue

Liposoluble coloring in Baby Blue shade, available in 20 ml and 100 ml

Colour Mill Baby Blue evokes a spring morning sky, the powder blue of a fluffy cloud. This fat-soluble food coloring is designed for fatty pastry bases: melted white chocolate, butter ganache, buttercream, royal icing, and fondant worked by hand warmth. Especially sought after by cake designers for royal icing cookies shaped like baby bottles, teddy bears, and booties for boy baby showers and gender reveal layer cakes to reveal the baby's sex when cut, it offers a distinctive shade recognizable from the Colour Mill palette (Australia).

Made in Australia using a proprietary pigment encapsulation technology, Colour Mill withstands baking up to 180°C without changing color or fading. The Baby Blue shade remains stable after baking, making it the go-to option for colored cake batters before baking. The 20 ml soft dropper bottle allows precise dosing for occasional use; the 100 ml size is intended for regular production in boutique bakeries (per milliliter, the 100 ml is about 35% cheaper).

Baby Blue: 3 shades depending on dosage

The shade subtly adjusts according to dosage without losing its identity.

Directions for use

1. Base preparation: temper the fat base (white chocolate, ganache, buttercream) to 25-30°C. Above 35°C, some pigments may lose intensity.
2. Initial dosage: shake the bottle for 10 seconds. Add 2 to 4 drops per 250 g of preparation for pastel shades, 6 to 10 drops for bright shades, 15 to 25 drops for dark shades.
3. Mixing: whip with a stand mixer or silicone spatula for 30 to 60 seconds to evenly distribute the color.
4. Rest and stabilization: let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature under cling film in contact. The shade develops and fully reveals itself during rest.
5. Possible adjustment: if the shade is too pale, add 1 to 3 additional drops and remix. Proceed in increments to avoid oversaturation.

Patissland Tip - Baby Blue

For baby showers for boys, pair Baby Blue with a touch of Caramel or Latte rather than pure white: the pastel-natural contrast is much more photogenic on Instagram than the classic blue-white. For gender reveal, prepare 2 identical buttercreams (Baby Pink + Baby Blue) and only reveal the color when cutting the cake.
