Colour Mill

is a family owned, Australian based food colour manufacturer specializing in the cake and baking industry.
With over 30 years experience in the industry, Colour Mill have seen trends come and go. From fondant to royal icing, buttercream to chocolate. Through all of this, the way they dye with food colouring has stayed much the same.

Utilizing modern formulas and processes, Colour Mill has developed a range of Oil Based Pigment Colouring which outperforms conventional gel colouring.

The difference

Colour Mill have removed all water based materials, replacing it with bake & cake friendly oils, these oils mix through much better than water-based gels.

On top of this, the colours are put through a unique manufacturing process to create a colour which is both grain and streak free. This process creates what Colour Mill call ‘micro pigments’ which allows our colouring to mix through more effectively, meaning it can avoid uneven or speckled results.
Oh and the colours are free of fillers and gums? (used to thicken and bulk the product).

Tips & Tricks

Colour Mill is free of thickeners and gums, this means the colours may settle over time. It is best to give the bottle a good shake to mix through before use.
Take it easy! Remember the colours will develop over time. To bring your colours to life, Colour Mill suggest colouring and allowing to sit overnight (these will give the most rich & vibrant results).
