Oil-Soluble Food Coloring - Colour Mill Tiffany 100 ml
Oil-soluble food coloring in Tiffany shade, Pro 100 ml format
Colour Mill Tiffany evokes the iconic Tiffany & Co. box, the New York jeweler's turquoise blue. This oil-soluble food coloring is designed for fat-based pastry ingredients: melted white chocolate, butter ganache, buttercream, royal icing, and sugar paste worked with the warmth of your hands. Particularly sought after by cake designers for high-end New York chic-themed event wedding cakes and birthday cupcakes for 16th/18th birthdays inspired by American Sweet Sixteen celebrations, it delivers a distinctive shade recognizable from the Colour Mill (Australia) palette.
Made in Australia using proprietary pigment encapsulation technology, Colour Mill withstands baking temperatures of up to 180°C without changing hue or fading. The Tiffany shade remains stable after baking, making it the reference choice for cake batters colored before going into the oven. The 100 ml bottle is intended for boutique bakeries in regular production: at the same volume, it costs approximately 35% less per milliliter than the 20 ml bottle, for daily use without frequent restocking.

Patissland Tip - Tiffany
Tiffany immediately evokes the jewelry brand. Use it for ultra-chic wedding cakes, Sweet Sixteen birthdays, and any event seeking a jewelry-inspired, gift-like, luxurious color scheme. Always pair it with a wide ivory-white ribbon around the base of the cake to recreate the look of Tiffany box packaging.
Frequently asked questions
At what activity level does the 100 ml size become cost-effective?
The 100 ml size becomes worthwhile at around 5 colored orders per week. To get started or simply test a shade, the 20 ml size (see above) remains more suitable.
How many drops for 250 g of buttercream?
For pastel shades: 2 to 4 drops. For bright shades: 5 to 10 drops. For dark shades: 12 to 20 drops. Always start with less and gradually adjust; it is easier to intensify a color than to lighten it.
Does Colour Mill colorant withstand baking?
Yes, Colour Mill is one of the few oil-based colorants to retain its intensity after baking at up to 180°C. This property sets it apart from conventional liquid colorants, which become lighter in the oven.
Can Colour Mill be used on water-based ingredients (royal icing, syrup)?
No, Colour Mill oil-based is designed for fat-based ingredients: melted chocolate, ganache, buttercream, and fondant. For water-based ingredients, use the Colour Mill water-soluble range.
Does the bottle have a built-in dropper?
Yes, the 100 ml Colour Mill bottle also has a built-in dropper opening in the soft cap, despite its larger container. A simple squeeze dispenses one precise drop.
