This crystal color is a U.S. certified food color. It can be used to color chocolate or candy coating, icings, fondant, gum paste and more. This color does not fade or bleed, and does not stain hands when kneading fondant. This color can also be used like a petal dust.
Use for buttercream icings (if using real butter, please use unsalted and no color additives as butter contains FDC yellow 6):
Mix color with powdered sugar and make sure it is well mixed. Add to icing.
Commercial icings:
Mix color with powdered sugar, then mix into icing. This will take 1 to 2 hours for the color to completely develop. Once color is developed, it will not change colors or fade.
Royal Icing:
Mix color with powdered sugar then make royal icing as usual.
Fondant:
Mix color directly into fondant and knead very well. This will not stain your hands like liquid or gel food coloring.
White Chocolate:
Mix color directly into melted chocolate.
Dusting Gum Paste Flowers:
Work color into brush before dusting flowers with colors. A little color goes a long way.
Commercially-made Gum Paste Flowers:
Work color into dusting brush (sable flat shader style brush is recommended), then work from the outside edges in toward the center.
Painting:
Mix color with vodka or lemon extract to paint designs.
