I have been so lucky to try out a new product on the market. Its called Crystal colors and they are fantastic to work with. Not only do they come in a range of beautiful colors that is perfect for painting and dusting your cakes and gumpaste flowers but you can also color your fondant, icing and even white chocolate with these wonder powders. Only remember not to use a white workboard when you use the powders as it can be hard to get rid of stains afterwards

I find the Crystal Colors very easy to work with and a little really goes a long way. I was surprised to see how quick it blended into the fondant (blue & green), even the royal icing (peach) and the white chocolate (blue) was so easy to color. A good tip is when you want to use it for royal icing or chocolate is to “grind” the powder between two teaspoons to get it super fine in texture and it will then mix in perfectly.

Happy Caking
