Frequently Asked Questions

How much gel food colour should I add to buttercream?

Gel food colours are highly concentrated. Start with a small amount on the tip of a toothpick and mix into your buttercream, adding more gradually until you reach the desired shade. The colour will deepen as it sits, so mix slightly lighter than your target shade and check again after 30 minutes.

Can I mix the 12 Vivid gel colours to create custom shades?

Yes, the 12 colour set is designed to be mixed for custom shades. Use a colour wheel as a guide: mix primary colours to create secondary shades, or add small amounts of a complementary colour to mute a bright tone. Always mix gel colours in a small dish first before adding to your buttercream or fondant.
