Frequently asked questions
Is Wilton colorant suitable for coloring chocolate?
No. Wilton gel colorants are water-based, incompatible with chocolate. To color chocolate or ganache, use oil-based colorants.
How many pots for a 3-tier wedding cake?
A 28 g Wilton pot covers about 8 to 10 kg of sugar paste or 5 to 7 kg of buttercream depending on the desired intensity. One pot 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.
Sky Blue tip?
Sky Blue lightens slightly when resting: use a bit more than the target shade.
