Liquid food colouring

Liquid food colouring is handy when you want to mix delicate shades, paint, or work with an airbrush. We carry almost 30 liquid colours: airbrush colours in many shades, metallic colours and a white colour for tinting.

Which liquid colours do we offer?

Most of the range is airbrush colours in red, yellow, black, brown, pink, violet, orange, turquoise, light blue, dark blue and several greens and reds. Some shades such as raspberry red, strawberry red, pistachio green and lemon yellow come in 250 g. There is also an edible blood spray (100 ml), for example for Halloween cakes.

For a metallic finish there are liquid metallic colours in gold, black and ruby red, plus the gold food colour and gold metallic colour. The white liquid colour for tinting lightens a mixture or makes a shade more opaque.

Tips from our kitchen

• Airbrush: these liquid colours are made for the airbrush gun. Spray thin layers from an even distance for a streak-free surface. The article Airbrush Funktionsweise explains how the device works.
• Painting: liquid colours work well for brush painting on fondant and sugar decorations. Do not load the brush too heavily or the surface will soften.
• Mixing: mix your own shades from the basic colours and note down the ratios.

Frequently asked questions

When do I choose liquid and when gel?

Liquid is ideal for airbrushing and delicate shades. For intense shades in fondant or buttercream, paste and gel colours go further.

Can I use these colours without an airbrush?

They are meant for the airbrush gun. To spray without a device, look at food spray and velvet spray in a can.

Accessories are in airbrush colours and airbrush for cakes. You can learn the technique in the airbrush chocolates course in Adliswil.
