How to use the colors?

1 color packet per pint for light frosting.

1 color packet per ½ pint for more vibrant color.

Blend color powder with dry ingredients before hydrating.

For pre-made frosting, mix color powders directly into frosting.

GEL

You can make a gel by mixing powders with a very small amount of water or glycerin (approx ¼ tsp liquid to 1 ¼ tsp color to make a paste) for easy blending. Liquid colors will need to be refrigerated.

Heat and Natural Colors

Natural colors can be heat sensitive and start to fade at 200-250 degrees, resulting in more pastel colors.

For cake color and other baked goods, a recipe with a shorter bake time or lower heat is recommended (mini cupcakes, thin layered cake).

When working with heated recipes, like a gummy candy, mix colors into a liquid first and then add into the cooling phase for maximum color vibrancy.
