Oil-based food coloring for chocolate, ganache and high-fat mixtures.
Colour Mill Blue Bell is a concentrated oil-based food coloring in a 20 ml dropper bottle. Its oil-based formula blends directly into chocolate, cocoa butter, ganache and high-fat creams without causing the mixture to seize. The Blue Bell shade gives a soft blue-violet reminiscent of the flower of the same name, between Lavender and Royal.
Ingredients: Humectant: E422, vegetable oil (rapeseed), colorings: E133, E120, emulsifiers: E322, E433.
Yes, since buttercream is a high-fat mixture, Blue Bell can be mixed in as usual, gradually, until you reach the desired shade.
Yes, add the coloring gradually, one drop at a time, mixing between each addition: it’s easier to deepen a shade that’s too light than to lighten a base that’s already too strong.
Gradually dilute it in white chocolate or a neutral base, adding the coloring drop by drop: Blue Bell intensifies quickly, so it’s best to start with a small amount and deepen the color rather than the other way around.
