Colour Mill Cobalt Oil-Based Food Coloring 20 ml
Cobalt shade, 20 ml bottle for fat-based mixtures
Colour Mill Cobalt evokes Delft ceramic pigment and tropical fish scales. This concentrated oil-based food coloring is designed for fat-based baking mixtures: melted white chocolate, ganache, buttercream, and fondant warmed by hand. It's a popular choice among cake designers for tropical ocean and diving-themed layer cakes, and destination wedding cakes inspired by the Mediterranean or the French Riviera.
