Why Use Edible Colour Dust?

Colour dusts are essential tools for cake decorators because they provide flexibility and precision that traditional gel colours cannot always achieve.

They are ideal for:

• Adding colour directly into modelling mediums
• Creating soft shading and realistic details
• Dusting sugar flowers and decorations
• Painting fine decorative elements

This makes colour dust perfect for artistic cake decorating and professional sugarcraft work.

Key Features

Highly Concentrated Pigment - A powerful edible pigment that delivers vibrant colour with only a small amount of powder.

Fat-Soluble Formula - Works particularly well with fat-based mediums such as chocolate, cocoa butter and buttercream.

Versatile Application - Can be used in multiple ways depending on the desired decorative effect.

Suitable for Many Decorating Mediums - Compatible with sugar paste, modelling paste, flower paste, buttercream, royal icing, ganache and chocolate.

Gluten Free - Contains no gluten ingredients.

How to Use

Mix Directly Into Your Medium. Add a small amount of powder directly into:

• Sugar paste
• Modelling paste
• Flower paste
• Buttercream
• Royal icing
• Ganache

Knead or mix until the colour is evenly distributed.

Dusting Technique

Use a soft dusting brush to apply the powder directly onto sugar flowers, cake decorations or sugar work for shading and highlights.

Painting Method

Mix the powder with:

• Cocoa butter
• Rejuvenator spirit
• Food-grade alcohol

This creates a paint that can be used to add fine details and artistic decorations.
