USING RAINBOW DUST & COLOUR SPLASH
As these gel colours are so concentrated, you only need to add a small amount of gel to achieve the desired shade, meaning it doesn’t normally affect the consistency of your sugarpaste. If you add a lot of colouring, it can sometimes cause the paste to become a little sticky, but dusting your hands with corn flour whilst handling it can help to reduce this, as can leaving the paste to rest for a little while (wrap in plastic to stop the paste drying out).
It is best to start with a very small amount of gel colour, mix thoroughly, then add a little more if the shade achieved is not deep enough.
When colouring sugarpaste, you will need to check to make sure the colour has been mixed through fully (unless you are aiming for a marbled effect). To do this, cut the coloured paste in half with a sharp knife and check for any white marbling on the cut edges. If you can still see white (or pale) patches in the paste, you need to continue kneading the paste. Check again and repeat until the cut edge of the paste is a consistent colour.
