Gel Food Colours - FunCakes Gel Food Color Yellow

How do I use FunCakes gel food colouring?

FunCakes gel food colouring can be used for all kinds of cakes, as well as sugarpastes, marzipan or creams for topping. To make the most of your colouring gel, here are some of our tips for your pastry projects:

1. Start by kneading the gel colouring into your sugar or almond paste until it has a smooth texture.
2. If you're using the gel to colour pastry, cake batter or icing, start by mixing in a few drops to obtain the desired colour. Note that gel colours are highly concentrated, so only a few drops are needed.
   
   
3. Gel can also be used to paint designs on your cakes. To do this, dilute it with a little water or strong alcohol (vodka or Rejuvenator Spirit), as this colourant is highly concentrated. Then simply paint the design with a brush and leave to dry.

For best results, use a toothpick to help you mix the pastry gel colouring into your sugar or almond paste. This will prevent lumps from forming.
