Made in the UKSugarflair Spectral Food Colouring Paste - Royal Blue - 25g
Sugarflair Royal Blue Spectral Paste is a rich, vibrant true blue, part of the trusted Sugarflair range of highly concentrated food colouring pastes. Designed for colouring sugarpaste, flowerpaste, marzipan, buttercream, royal icing and cake mixes, this shade gives bakers and decorators a reliable, regal colour that is ideal for birthday cakes, superhero bakes and bold celebration designs.
Because the paste is so concentrated, a little goes a long way. Add a small amount with a cocktail stick, mix thoroughly, and build up gradually until you reach the shade you want. The consistency of your icing will not change significantly, even when a stronger colour is needed, and the shade will deepen slightly as it dries, so start light and add more as required.
As well as colouring icing, this paste can be used to create your own edible paint. Simply dilute a small amount with rejuvenator spirit, dipping solution, or water, and apply with a fine paintbrush for hand-painted cake designs, delicate detailing or bold artistic finishes.
This handy 25g pot is nut free, gluten free and suitable for vegans, and is made in England to Sugarflair's professional standard. A great addition to any home baker's cupboard.
Instructions for Use
Sugarflair Spectral Paste colours can be added or kneaded into sugarpaste, fondant, buttercream, royal icing, marzipan, flower paste and modelling paste. Simply add a little at a time with a toothpick to build up your desired shade without changing the consistency of the product you are working with. When mixing into sugarpaste, use sparingly to achieve a pastel shade, but add more to give a strong, vibrant colour.
If using pastes as food colouring paint add a little Rejuvenator Spirit or Dipping Solution using a small brush and paint on to icing. Water may be used but will not dry as quickly, or give quite such a good finish.
