What is the difference between OptimumOil® and HydraTone®?
OptimumOil® is oil-based colouring made for fat-based mediums such as chocolate, cocoa butter, buttercream and ganache. HydraTone® is a water-based liquid colouring for buttercream, fondant, meringue, royal icing and baked recipes.
Can I use OptimumOil® to colour chocolate?
Yes. OptimumOil® uses an oil-compatible colouring system that disperses smoothly into fat-based ingredients, so it blends evenly into chocolate without seizing, splitting or changing the texture.
How much colour should I use?
A little goes a long way and colours intensify with time. Shake the bottle well, add the colour gradually while stirring, and build up until you reach your desired shade.
How do I use ShimmerDeluxe® edible metallic spray?
Shake well and spray in light, even coats. Each spray releases a controlled, consistent mist for a smooth shimmer across cakes, desserts, chocolate work and decorations.
What is FrostFlare®?
FrostFlare® is a professional icing and frosting whitener that gives buttercream and frostings a bright, flawless white finish.
