How to colour neon fondant (sugar paste)?

1. Take an amount of fondant and make a ball.
2. Make a small cavity and add an amount of FONDUST®. The more dust you use, the darker your colour will be.
3. Knead until the dust is well incorporated.
4. Adjust the colour as needed.

Tips for colouring with FONDUST®

• Always start with a very small amount of powder and add more powder as you knead to achieve a darker colour.
• Remember that the colour activates with the humidity of kneading.
• To get the darker shade of the chosen colour, use 3g of FONDUST® per kilogram of fondant.
• To colour the fondant a dark colour, make sure it does not contain titanium dioxide. However, if you use a product containing titanium dioxide, you will need more FONDUST® dust to obtain dark colours.
• If your colour is too dark, add some uncoloured fondant.
• When you are done, we recommend that you wipe down your work surface with a dry paper towel as this is a volatile product. You can then clean your work surface as usual. If you use a damp cloth first, it will activate the product and may stain your work surface.
