PME Food Color: Violet

A little thicker then expected, but it did the job

I bought this to make my buttercreams look paler and as white as possible. The colour is gorgeous and it made my buttercream go from yellow to white after adding a few drops so I still have a lot of the product left. Truly recommended. I still need to try it and check if I could get other results if I want to make any kind of batter or food in a stronger or darker purple colour. Price is really good too.

Hard to get out of the bottle but the colour is lovely.

A very pretty, pastel shade of violet. Its made with a combination of Cochineal E120, and Brilliant Blue E133, all in a glycerine base. I've enclosed a photo (please try not to laugh at my attempt at piping). This was 8 drops to approx 1/2 pint of icing. Always add a few drops, mix in, and then add more to achieve your desired colour. The only slight negative I have, is that it's quite difficult to actually get the drops out. It took a fair few shakes to get them to appear. Still, better too few than a major splurge. I've bought some other colours as well now, and they've all been very good. I hope you found this review helpful.

If you want a strong purple colour this isn’t for you but if you want lilac it’s great! I aimed for lilac anyway so did the job for me!

Good quality, good colour
