Frequently Asked Questions

How many cakes does the Colour Mill Gloss Frost Buttercream 5L cover?

A 5L bucket typically covers 6–8 standard 20cm (8 inch) round cakes with a full outer layer, or pipes decorations on 80–100+ cupcakes. Yield will vary depending on application thickness and decoration style. Also available in a 1L and 2L size for smaller projects.

Can I add food colouring to Colour Mill Gloss Frost Buttercream?

Yes — the super-white base accepts Colour Mill Oil Based colouring and gel food colouring very well. Colour Mill products are specifically formulated to work together, so using Colour Mill's own oil blends gives you the cleanest, most vibrant results. Mix in small amounts and stir thoroughly before assessing the shade.
