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 Sand Aqua Blend for fondant skin tones in figurines?

Yes — Sand is a useful base for light skin tones in fondant figurines and cake toppers. It tends to skew warm and beige rather than peachy-pink, making it a good starting point. For different skin tones, blend it with Peach, Nude, or a touch of Brown to build the depth and warmth you need.
