• The liquid gels are more concentrated than traditional liquid food colourings, so you need less, which is important in recipes where you want to minimize the amount of liquid added (such as in meringue and macaroons). Since you need less, there is less of a chance the colouring with adversely flavour the food too.
• Add equal amounts of corn flour or sugar flour (Icing sugar) and gel to your fondant, icing gum/flower paste etc.to prevent it from becoming tacky.
• Allow the mix to rest and develop before use for at least an hour. The colours will develop and the mixture will become more pliable.
