Colour Mill is a family-owned, Australian based food colour manufacturer specializing in the cake and bake industry. With over 30 years of experience in their industry, Colour Mill has seen trends come and go. From fondant to royal icing, buttercream to chocolate. Through all of this, the way they 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.
The Difference
“We have removed all water-based materials, replacing it 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). On top of this, our colours are put through a unique manufacturing process to create a colour that is both grain and streak-free. This process creates what we call ‘micro pigments’ which allows our colouring to mix through more effectively, meaning we can avoid uneven or speckled results. Oh, and did we mention our colours are free of fillers and gums? (used to thicken and bulk the product). We refuse to compromise on quality!”
What’s the secret?
Unlike conventional gel colours, Colour Mill’s unique blend loves the fats & oils in your baking. Colour Mill dyes and disperses their colouring using these oils, allowing you to achieve a rich & vibrant result. Best in Buttercream, Swiss Meringue, Chocolate, Cake Batter, Ganache, Fondant & many more!

Directions:
- Shake well before use
- Take it easy, colours will develop over time (We suggest colouring and allowing to sit overnight, these will give the most rich & vibrant results)
- Store in a cool dry place away from sunlight
Handy Tip!
To achieve a true colour, we recommend adding white before your colouring to reduce any yellow tones in buttercream, chocolate etc.
