Why an oil-based colour for chocolate?
Because water seizes chocolate and makes it thicken. An oil-based colour blends in without affecting its flow.
Does oil-based colour work in cream and dough?
For water-based creams and doughs a gel or water-based colour is better. Oil-based colour is for chocolate, cocoa butter and sugar paste.
How much colour should I use?
Start with a few drops, mix fully, then add gradually — these colours are concentrated and show their true shade only after full mixing.
