Dyes

Food dye for all your bakes

When baking, you may want to give your cake, sponge or biscuits a distinctive colour using fondant or marzipan. These ingredients can be coloured with the food dye available at Baktotaal. Food dye is safe to consume and available in a wide range of shades. Start with a small amount to see the effect. If the colour is not intense enough, simply add a little more. The more dye you use, the deeper the colour will become.

What can you colour with edible dye?

Edible dye can be used to colour a variety of foods, from cake batter and sponge mixtures to creams and icing. Even drinks can be coloured with food dye. You can also bake with dye when it is mixed into batter. When working with ready-to-roll fondant, apply the dye in the centre to prevent staining your hands. To be extra careful, we recommend wearing latex gloves while colouring.

Which edible dyes are available?

In our range you will find different types of food dyes. The best choice depends on what you want to colour.

Gel dyes

Gel dyes are among the most commonly used food colourings. They have a gel consistency and are available in a wide variety of colours. At Baktotaal.com you will find gel dyes on both water and oil bases.

Powder colours

Our webshop also offers a wide selection of (natural) powder colours. Powder dyes are ideal when you prefer not to add extra liquid, as this could affect the final result. Macarons, for example, are best coloured with powder dye. Meringue, sugar work, creams and fillings can also be coloured perfectly with powder. In addition, powder colour can be mixed into edible paint, which you can apply with a brush to cakes, biscuits, chocolate and other sweet treats.

Water-based dyes

Water-based edible dyes are highly suitable for colouring products that are water-based or contain no fat. They can be used to colour fondant, royal icing, meringue and light creams such as Chantilly cream. However, they are not suitable for fatty products such as chocolate.

Oil-based dyes

Oil-based edible dyes are specifically designed for products containing oil or other fats. They are ideal for colouring chocolate, candy melts and buttercream. Oil-based dyes are not recommended for royal icing, meringue or macarons.

Try sprays to decorate your bakes

In addition to food dye for colouring ingredients, you can also use sprays to decorate your cakes and creations. Sprays are perfect for adding decorative effects or text to cakes and sponges, giving them a personal touch with ease.

Even more types of food dye

Alongside the options above, our webshop also offers liquid dyes, airbrush colours, natural dyes and food paint. Prefer an easy way to colour your entire cake? Use an airbrush set with matching colours for smooth, even application without mess. If you prefer natural products, we also stock natural dyes made without artificial additives. For those who enjoy painting, food paint allows you to create detailed decorations and custom designs.
