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.
How do I prevent yellow royal icing from fading once it dries?
To maintain vibrant yellow in dried royal icing, store finished pieces away from direct sunlight and UV light — exposure is the main cause of yellow fading. Using a concentrated food colouring like Colour Mill Aqua Blend Yellow rather than a weaker colouring also helps, as deeper initial pigmentation slows visible fading. Keep decorated biscuits in a cool, dark storage area until display.
