Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Colour Mill Aqua Blend and Oil Blend?

Aqua Blend is a water-based food colouring designed for royal icing, fondant, meringue, and other water-based applications. Oil Blend is specifically formulated for chocolate, candy melts, and fat-based mediums like American buttercream. Using the wrong formula in the wrong medium can cause seizing or uneven colour — always match the colouring type to your base.

Can I use Colour Mill Aqua Blend Orange to colour fondant for Halloween decorations?

Yes — Aqua Blend Orange works beautifully in fondant and sugar paste for pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, and autumn-themed decorations. Because it is water-based, it blends evenly without altering the texture of your fondant. Start with a small amount and knead through until you reach your desired shade.
