Colour Mill Oil Based Food Colouring - All Shades - 20ml & 100ml
Achieve flawless, vibrant, and beautifully bold colour finishes on your cake designs, using the oil-based food colour range, Colour Mill.
Colour Mill is a family owned, Australian based food colour manufacturer specializing in the cake and bake industry. With over 30 years experience in the industry, they have seen trends come and go. From fondant to royal icing, buttercream to chocolate. Through all of this, the way we dye with food colouring has stayed much the same.
Utilizing modern formulas and processes, Colour Mill has developed a range of Oil Based Pigment Colouring which outperforms conventional gel colouring.
Colour Mill colourings allow the colour to disperse through every part of a fat-rich medium, including the sugar, eggs, and butter. This is because all water-based materials have been removed and replaced with bake & cake friendly oils; these oils mix through much better than water-based gels (which we know water repels from the oils in your baking).
Unlike your average gel colours, Colour Mill loves the fats and oils found in your baking, and uses it to disperse the special formula colouring. This results in stunningly vibrant, consistent shades that will not fade. It works especially great in buttercream, swiss meringue, chocolate, cake batter, ganache and sugarpastes. It also works in flower pastes, gumpastes, modelling pastes, royal icing, marzipan, cake mixes, pastry, frostings, isomalt, piping gel, cake lace mixes and more.
Not only will your cakes look amazing, but Colour Mill will also help you get more colour for your buck. The high concentration means you use much less than you normally would to achieve even brighter and colourful results. You only need a tiny drop at a time to build up your desired shade - we recommend using the end of a cocktail stick.
Only a tiny amount of colouring is needed. We wouldn't recommend using more than 2% of what the colour is being mixed into.
There are over 30 different colours to choose from, with each bottle containing 20ml or 100ml. The bottle comes with a squeeze-top dispenser lid for increased accuracy.
Please note, the pigments used in each colour vary in weight. Some will weigh more than others, but all colours are the same strength and filled to the top.
Colour Mill can be diluted with alcohol to form an edible paint. Please note, due to the oil in the colours, it may take longer than average to dry.

Tips & Tricks
Colour Mill is free of thickeners and gums, this means Colour Mill colours may settle over time. It is best to give the bottle a good shake to mix through before use.
Take it easy! Remember Colour Mill colours will develop over time. To bring your colours to life, we suggest colouring and allowing to sit overnight (these will give the most rich & vibrant results).
Get creative!
Cake decorating is all about experimenting and expressing yourself, don't be afraid to mix Colour Mill colours, add into different mediums and try new things!
Store in a cool dry place away from sunlight.
