Wilton Icing Color
Moss Green gel colorant
Natural moss green, ideal for foliage and botanical decorations.
The Wilton Moss Green gel colorant provides a natural and slightly nuanced green, perfect for reproducing foliage, mosses, and plant backgrounds. Less bright than vivid greens, it ideally complements floral arrangements.
Moss Green is the ally of botanical decorations: leaves, stems, cactus, buttercream moss, and plant backgrounds to highlight colorful flowers.

Frequently asked questions
Is Wilton colorant suitable for coloring chocolate?
No. Wilton gel colorants are water-based and incompatible with chocolate. To color chocolate or ganache, use oil-soluble colorants.
How many jars for a 3-tier wedding cake?
A 28 g Wilton jar covers about 8 to 10 kg of sugar paste or 5 to 7 kg of buttercream depending on the desired intensity. One jar is enough for most 3-tier wedding cakes.
Does the color remain stable over time?
Yes, on fondant and sugar paste the color lasts several weeks away from light. On buttercream and cream, keep refrigerated for 5 to 7 days.
How to get a lighter or darker shade?
To lighten: add white (extra white fondant) or reduce the amount. To darken: add an extra half-tip and let rest for 30 minutes before judging.
Green Foam Tip?
