Colour Mill colours are described as 'next generation food colour'
Super concentrated oil based icing colourings specifically designed for use with buttercream and other products that have a higher fat content
Conventional paste or gel colours are ideal for colouring sugar paste icing but they do not really like fats or oils, so you often struggle to get proper colour consistency when using buttercream etc (see below*)
perfectly suited for buttercream, ganache, Swiss meringue, chocolate, fondant, cream and cake mixes / batters
Colour Mill's unique blend actually loves the fats and oils in your baking and uses these oils to disperse the special formula colouring
Create vibrant, consistent shades that will not fade - in fact the colours develop over time so use sparingly to begin with
Yes, they're relatively expensive but they are really specialised colourings and the results are pretty amazing
*here's a good explanation from Colour Mill's blog . . . since 'The Age of Buttercream' we're finding that colourings are becoming less effective in our baking. Let's take Swiss Meringue Buttercream for example... 40% of your SMBC recipe is butter (oil) and you're adding gel colouring (water) to dye it? We all know that water and oil can't mix, so your traditional gel colour will only be able to dye the sugar in your buttercream but not the butter itself. That means you're adding gel/paste that can only dye 60% of the product, which is why the results are often not great
This is why Colour Mill is so good . . . the formula is completely oil based, which allows the colouring to disperse properly through the sugar, eggs and butter to dye every part of the buttercream to allow deep, dark and vibrant colours
Amazing shades to choose from - mix together for infinite range of shades
Colour Mill colours go through a specialised milling process that grinds the powder into an ultra smooth liquid, leaving you with a grain free paste with no aftertaste
White Colour Mill is probably one of the only colourings that acts as a true icing whitener suitable for buttercream
Shake well before use and add a tiny drop at a time to build up shade - eg using end of a cocktail stick
Very economical to use due to its high strength concentration
Mix in a mixing tray and apply with a sugar craft dusting brush or food-approved paint brush
