Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use Wilton Icing Colour gel in buttercream?

Use a toothpick or small spatula to scoop a tiny amount of gel colour from the jar and add it to your buttercream or icing. Mix thoroughly and add more in small increments until you reach your desired shade. Gel colours are highly concentrated, so start with less than you think you need. The colour will deepen slightly as the icing sits.

What is the difference between Wilton gel colour and liquid food colouring?

Wilton gel colours are far more concentrated than standard liquid food colouring, meaning you need much less to achieve vibrant results. Gel colours also do not add extra liquid to your icing, which is important for maintaining the correct consistency in buttercream, royal icing and fondant. Liquid food colouring can alter icing consistency and produce paler colours by comparison.
