Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use Rolkem petal dust dry or mix it with alcohol?

Both methods work well. For a natural, velvety finish on sugar flowers and fondant petals, dust on dry using a soft brush — this is the most popular technique for shading and contouring individual petals. To paint bold, opaque colour onto fondant or wafer paper, mix a small amount of petal dust with clear alcohol (such as rose spirit or vodka) to form a thin paste. The alcohol evaporates quickly, leaving a clean, vibrant colour without affecting the fondant surface.

Is Rolkem Rainbow Spectrum dust edible and food-safe?

Yes. Rolkem Rainbow Spectrum dusts are food-grade powdered food colourants approved for use in edible cake decorations. They are safe for direct contact with cakes, biscuits, macarons, chocolates, and other edible items. As with all decorating powders, they are designed for use as a surface decoration rather than as a bulk food colouring agent.
