FAQ
Can I use it on a glazed entremet?
Yes, but only dry on a set and non-moist surface. On mirror glaze, prefer the paint version and gently tap.
Is it edible?
Yes, it is a food coloring (E172) intended for surface decoration.
What alcohol base should I use?
A neutral food-grade alcohol (vodka or ethanol 90–96°). Avoid water which dulls the shine.
Is it vegan / halal / kosher compatible?
Yes: vegan and kosher. The formula is suitable for a halal diet (without specific certification).
Can I incorporate it into a dough?
It is a surface powder. Mixed into dough, the effect will be reduced; prefer a paint or a brush-on veil after baking.
