Colour MillOil Blend Food Colouring Black: Next Generation Oil Based Food Colours - 20 ml

The buttercream turns to a really deep black which is what i wanted, i did however have to use the microwave method to achieve this (microwave the buttercream for 15 seconds and mix, it will change the composition of the buttercream but when you leave it in the fridge for at least 30 mins the consistency will be fine and for me personally its a lot better as it also eliminates any air bubbles in the buttercream). I didn’t have to use too much either but i only made a small amount which is probably why, a couple people mention it changing the taste of the buttercream which it does but not drastically, if you use too much the change of taste will be more noticeable.

This is an amazing food colouring however it does really stain your hands in the moments as it is VERY pigmented. The food colouring is oil based rather than gel colouring and so it disperses a lot quickly and efficiently. It coloured my fondant black not great which I absolutely loved. With my icing it did turn black but by pairing this with the microwave method I achieved the glossy black frosting I desired.

Good as always

The easiest way to get black buttercream however it does have a slight taste to it which I’m not a fan of.

👍🏽

I don’t think this is colourmill, very claggy, will not thin down with rejuvenator, I have binned it

The bottle has no lid.

Don't know what the hype was about this exact product, no matter how much I shake it, there is always an anusual amount of oil dropping out first. Very annoying. I'll stick to the other brand on amazon, better quality and bigger quantity.
