To use Colour Splash food coloring, add it in small drops to your desired medium, such as sugar paste, icing, or buttercream, and mix until you achieve your preferred shade.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
What it is: Colour Splash food coloring is a highly concentrated gel food coloring. This means a little goes a long way.
-
Where to use it: You can use Colour Splash in a variety of baking and decorating applications, including:
- Sugar paste (fondant)
- Icing
- Buttercream
- Cake mix
- Modelling paste
- Royal icing
- Marzipan
-
How to use it:
-
Start Small: Dispense a very small drop of the gel coloring into your chosen medium. Gel colors are potent, and it's easier to add more color than to try to remove it.
-
Mix Thoroughly: Use a clean spatula or utensil to mix the coloring in completely. Ensure there are no streaks or pockets of undissolved color.
-
Assess the Color: After mixing, check the color intensity. If it's not dark enough, add another small drop and repeat the mixing process.
-
Repeat as Needed: Continue adding color gradually until you reach your desired shade.

Tips for Best Results:
- Use Clean Tools: Always use clean utensils to avoid contaminating the coloring or your decorating medium.
- Knead Fondant/Sugar Paste: When coloring fondant or sugar paste, knead the paste well after adding the color to ensure even distribution.
- Let Colors Develop: Some colors will deepen over time. If possible, color your medium a few hours (or even a day) in advance to allow the color to fully develop and adjust accordingly.
- Avoid Watery Mediums: Because it is a gel, colour splash is suitable for mediums that are water based, but avoid adding it to water based mediums, if using another brand.
-
Why use Colour Splash?
- Concentrated: Provides intense color with minimal product.
- Versatile: Works with a wide range of baking and decorating mediums.
- Long-Lasting: A small bottle lasts a long time due to its high concentration.
By following these steps, you can effectively use Colour Splash food coloring to create vibrant and visually appealing baked goods and decorations.
