Colour Mill Oil Blend Food Coloring Pinks Pack (6×20ml) — oil‑based pink & red shades for buttercream, fondant and chocolate

Colour Mill Oil Blend Food Coloring Pinks Pack is a six‑shade set of oil‑based liquid colourants (20 ml each) designed to give vibrant pink and red tones in buttercream, fondant, ganache, chocolate and more.

This Valentine's set brings together six carefully tuned pink and red shades—Baby Pink, Candy, Hot Pink, Raspberry, Red and Rose—formulated as oil blends for even dispersion in fat‑rich and water‑sensitive recipes. Each bottle contains 20 millilitres of concentrated oil‑based dye, blended with glycerol and lecithin. The pack is blended and bottled in Australia using local and imported ingredients and meets Australian and New Zealand food safety standards.

Which desserts and icings work best with these oil‑based colours?

Oil‑based colourants were developed specifically for recipes with a high fat content or where water‑based dyes can break texture. They perform exceptionally well in buttercream, Swiss meringue, chocolate and ganache, and can also be folded into cake batters and used for fondant.

• Buttercream and Swiss meringue: blends smoothly without thinning.
• Chocolate and ganache: disperses evenly without seizing.
• Fondant and modelling pastes: produces consistent shades without adding moisture.
• Cake batter: a few drops will tint batter while keeping structure intact.

How concentrated are these 20 ml bottles and how much should I use?

Each 20 ml bottle is a concentrated oil dispersion—only a small quantity is needed to reach pastel or bold results depending on your goal. Start with one or two drops for pale tints and add gradually until you reach the desired hue; the colours may deepen slightly over time, so allow a short resting period before final adjustments.

• Pastel shades: 1–3 drops per 250 g of icing.
• Medium shades: 4–8 drops per 250 g of icing.
• Vivid shades: increase in small increments to avoid overshooting.
• Test first on a small portion and wait a few minutes for full colour development.

Are these food colours safe for people with dietary restrictions?

Colour Mill oil blend colours are formulated to be allergen free and vegan, and the pack complies with the food safety standards of the Australian and New Zealand Food Authority. As always, check ingredient lists if you or guests have specific allergies or sensitivities.

• Allergen free formulation—suitable for many allergy concerns.
• Vegan friendly—no animal‑derived colouring agents.
• Ingredients listed: glycerol, colours and lecithin.
• Meets Australian and New Zealand food safety requirements.

How should I store and handle the colours to keep them effective?

Proper storage and handling preserve pigment intensity and consistency. Shake each bottle well before use to re‑suspend the colour, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep lids tightly closed between uses. Because these are oil dispersions, they layer differently than water‑based dyes—mix gently but thoroughly into your fat‑based recipes.

• Shake well before each use to ensure even colour distribution.
• Store away from heat and sunlight to prevent colour shift.
• Keep bottles capped to avoid contamination and evaporation.
• Allow a short resting time after mixing—shade develops over minutes.

Who is this pack for? The Colour Mill Pinks Pack suits home bakers, pastry chefs and chocolatiers who need reliable pink and red hues for special events, cake decoration and confectionery. It’s a practical choice for anyone working with buttercream, chocolate, fondant or ganache who wants concentrated, vegan, allergen‑free colours blended and bottled in Australia.
