Colour Mill Mauve Oil-Soluble Food Coloring 20 ml
Mauve shade, 20 ml bottle for fat-based mixtures
Colour Mill Mauve evokes the faded mauve of an old garden and a soft dusty pink-purple. This concentrated oil-soluble food coloring is designed for fat-based baking mixtures: melted white chocolate, ganache, buttercream, and fondant softened by the warmth of your hands. It naturally lends itself to sophisticated romantic vintage-themed wedding cakes and anniversary layer cakes (40 years).

Your questions, our advice
Does this food coloring withstand oven baking?
Yes, the shade remains stable up to 180 °C and does not lighten after baking, unlike many conventional liquid food colorings.
How many drops should I use for 250 g of mixture?
Use 2 to 4 drops for a pastel shade, 5 to 10 drops for a vivid shade, and up to 20 drops for a dark shade. It is best to add the color gradually.
Has separation appeared in the 20 ml bottle? Is this normal?
Yes, slight separation between the pigment and carrier liquid is normal after prolonged storage: shake for 10 seconds before each use.
