Oil-Based Blue Food Colouring is specifically designed for use in high-fat baking applications where regular water-based colours won’t work. This includes chocolate, buttercream, fondant, and ganache.
🎯 What Is It?
-
Oil-soluble food colouring (not water-based)
-
Perfect for coloring fat-based ingredients (chocolate, candy melts, buttercream)
-
Won’t cause chocolate to seize or separate like gel/water-based colours
✅ Best Uses
| Application | Suitable? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Chocolate | ✅ Yes | Won’t seize cocoa butter/fats |
| Buttercream | ✅ Yes | Mixes evenly with high-fat content |
| Ganache | ✅ Yes | Adds colour without splitting |
| Royal Icing | ❌ No | Use water-based or gel colours |
| Macarons | ⚠️ Careful | Only for fat-based fillings; powder may be better |
