About this deal

Please Note: Customised or personalised items are excluded from the regulations and cannot be returned. Due to food safety concerns, ready-made cakes are not subject to return unless considered faulty or not fit for purpose. Why might food colouring not be vegan, I hear you ask? This isn’t because of eggs, honey or milk like you might expect- it’s actually due to some of the e-numbers used. Certain e-numbers are used to give these liquids their bright colours and not all of them are free from animal byproducts. These high-quality and fantastic value gel food colouring colours are great for adding bursts of colour to your next celebration cake, perfect for making a rainbow birthday cake or decorating and finishing a unicorn cake! Because the gel is so concentrated you only need to use a little at a time making Colour Splash Gels highly cost effective and great for busy, colour loving, bakers.

Products from our Liquid Food Colouring range are used to add colour to royal icing and buttercream. It can also be painted directly onto cakes. As liquid food colouring is not as concentrated as gels and pastes, it tends to be used to create a lighter pastel shade opposed to a more intense colour. They can be used in the same way as gels and pastes by simply mixing into icing and cake mixture. Sugarflair Liquid Food Colouring The pink food colouring options are quite similar to the red ones. Many pink colourings contain carmine but here are the safe options:

Top 5 Food Colourings

There are a couple of other non-vegan ingredients that are used to dye foods, like Tyrian purple and squid ink, but they are not at all common in the UK and I haven’t seen any baking food colouring brands that use these ingredients. I noticed that more and more brands are using natural alternatives to artificial dyes these days, even for the reds and pinks! Vegan red food colouring

Transform plain cakes into bright, eye-catching creations with Colour Splash Food Colouring Gels. These highly concentrated gels add instant edible colour to icing, sugar paste, modelling paste, royal icing, marzipan, buttercream, and cake mixes. Food colouring is super fun to use and can help to make your cakes and bakes look more on-theme. It can also be used to help the colour ‘match’ the flavour, for example, adding green food colouring to mint chocolate chip ice cream. I’ve written this post to help you understand which ingredients to watch out for, as well as my favourite vegan food colouring brands in the UK. Does food colouring contain animal products? Colour Splash Gels offer a wide range of superb food safe colours at a great price. These concentrated gels are suitable for colouring all types of icings, cake mixes and more. Our Sugarflair NatraDi Natural Food Colouring Paste is 100% natural and is suitable for sugar paste icing, buttercream and cake mixes. Available in popular colours, Sugarflair NatraDi Natural Food Colouring Pastes enable you to add colour to icing and cake mixes without using artificial ingredients. What red food colouring is vegan? I couldn’t find any vegan supermarket red food dyes, nor any liquid colours that were vegan but there are a few options for gels. Let’s take a look:

Did you know that not all food colouring is vegan? This post will tell you everything you need to know about choosing suitable colouring for baking, which brands are vegan-friendly and alos how to colour your food naturally. Some of their individually-sold colours are vegan but others are not. I always recommend their set of food colouring pastes because these are free from animal-derived e-numbers and are vegan-friendly! PME pastes are what I always use in my baking recipes that call for food colouring, like my rainbow cake. Rainbow cake with yellow, orange, red, green and blue coloured frosting! Is Colour Splash food colouring vegan? You can naturally dye your bakes yellow by using turmeric powder. This is a potent spice so I recommend using only a little bit. I don’t imagine a turmeric-flavoured cake would taste very nice! To ensure your icing is as white as possible and not an off-white colour, which can be the case in some instances, Sugarflair Superwhite is a powder which can be added to icing. Bursting with high-quality colour, the affordable range of Colour Splash edible gels are an absolute must-have for any creative cake decorator.

To make orange, you can use a combination of turmeric and any of the red powders. Alternatively, something like carrot powder will work too. Natural green colouringThe gel's colour coordinated plastic tube is very easy to use and fantastic for cake decorators and bakers of all skill levels. The fine nozzle slowly releases the gel for a more precise, controlled application so you can always achieve the perfect shade while keeping any mess or waste to a minimum. If you prefer to avoid artificial ingredients, there are natural products you can use to colour your baked goods instead. It’s best to use powdered ingredients where possible. If using a liquid, you’ll need to use more to get a strong enough colour, which will potentially change the texture and flavour of your bake. Strawberry frosting– naturally dyed pink! Red and pink natural colours The most common culprit is an e-number called Carmine. This can be found in some red, pink and purple food colouring. Carmine is made from cochineal insects so it’s not suitable for those on a vegan diet. Other names for this ingredient are E120, Cochineal, Crimson Lake or Natural Red 5. Note that this is not the same as carmoisine, or E122, which is vegan-friendly.
