Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
How much colorant is needed for a pastel shade?
A toothpick tip for 500 g of fondant or buttercream is generally enough for a pastel shade; add more gradually to intensify the color.
Is this gel colorant suitable for chocolate?
No, this gel is formulated for water-based or emulsified fat-based preparations (fondant, icing, cream). For chocolate, use an oil-soluble colorant.
Is this colorant suitable for a very pale pink?
Yes, just a toothpick tip is enough for a soft pink shade: this colorant is easy to control even in very small amounts.
