Colour Mill Burgundy Water-Soluble Food Coloring
Burgundy shade, 20 ml bottle for water-based mixtures
Colour Mill Water-Soluble Burgundy evokes the deep velvet of a formal gown and an antique rose. This water-based food coloring is designed for water-based baking mixtures: royal icing, water-based icing, syrups, meringues, and macarons. This shade is especially popular for royal icing cookies, sophisticated autumn wedding cakes, and wedding anniversary cookies (ruby wedding anniversary).

Your questions, our advice
Does the color last after the icing has dried completely?
Yes, the color remains stable after the royal icing has dried completely, about 24 hours, making it suitable for decorated cookies sold several days after they are made.
What dosage gives a well-saturated color?
Start with 5 to 10 drops per 250 g of mixture and adjust in increments of 2 to 3 drops until you reach the desired shade, allowing it to rest between additions.
Does the 20 ml bottle have a dropper?
Yes, the soft cap has a dropper opening: a gentle squeeze dispenses a precise drop.
