Frequently Asked Questions

How much Vivid Gel Colour should I use?

Start with a very small amount — a toothpick tip is enough to begin with — then build the colour gradually to reach your desired shade. Vivid Gel Colours are highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way. For deep, saturated shades, mix and allow the colour to develop for a few minutes before adding more.

Will Vivid Gel Colour affect my icing consistency?

No — used in the recommended small amounts, Vivid Gel Colour will not alter the consistency of your buttercream, fondant, or royal icing. Because gel colourings are highly concentrated, you need far less product than liquid food colourings, which means no watering down or softening your mix.
