Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
How much coloring is needed for a pastel shade?
A toothpick tip for 500 g of fondant or buttercream is generally enough for a pastel shade; increase gradually to intensify.
Is this gel coloring suitable for chocolate?
No, this gel is formulated for water-based or emulsified fatty preparations (fondant, icing, cream). For chocolate, use an oil-based coloring.
Can this orange produce a pastel peach shade?
Yes, at a very low dose (a small pinch for 500 g), it turns light apricot; increase gradually for a true orange.
