Bring vibrant colour and creativity to your baking with Water Based Dust Colours—supplied in generous 10g pots for professional and home use. Specially formulated for versatility, these dusts are perfect for colouring a wide range of treats, including macaroons, meringues, Chantilly cream, cake batter, cookies, royal icing, and for use in painting and artistic cake decorating. Their water-soluble composition ensures they dissolve smoothly into liquids like water, milk, eggs, and other bases, providing consistent, bold colour in every recipe.

Water Based Dust Colours are easy to use: simply mix the powder directly into your chosen medium or dissolve in a liquid to create a vibrant paint for detailed designs. The fine texture guarantees even blending without clumping, supporting everything from bright buttercream to pastel icings and delicate brushwork on fondant.

Important: These water based colours are not suitable for colouring chocolate. For chocolate, please use oil based dust powders or cocoa-based colourants, which ensure proper texture and finish without causing separation.

With a spectrum of shades available, Water Based Dust Colours are the go-to choice for those wanting both precision and flexibility in their baking projects. Ideal for celebration cakes, themed bakes, patisserie, and edible art, they offer impressive coverage and true-to-tint results, making every creation stand out.

Starting with just a tiny amount will help you control the intensity of the clour, ensuring you get the perfect shade for you desire.

The versatility of these colourings is impressive. Here’s a quick rundown on how you might use them:

  • Macaroons and Meringues: Add a vibrant touch to these delicate treats by incorporating the colourings into the batter or meringue mixture.
  • Chantilly Cream: tiny drop can transform plain cream into a beautiful and colorful topping for desserts.
  • Cake Batter: using tip of the knife add the powder to the cake batter mix it well to colour your cake batter.
