Precisely tinted, consistently smooth color

Wilton Icing Colors in a compact 1 oz jar deliver a concentrated gel pigment you can trust for cake decorating and confectionery art. The formulation is designed to yield the exact shade you want without changing the icing’s texture, so your decorations stay true to your design.

Beyond icing, this versatile gel color can tint white fondant and gum paste, expanding the possibilities for your projects. A little goes a long way, and you can build up depth of color gradually to achieve anything from a soft charcoal to a deep, dramatic black.

How to color with precision

• Dip a clean toothpick into the 1 oz color jar.
• Swirl the toothpick into your icing and blend with a palette knife.
• Repeat in small increments until you reach the desired shade, keeping icing texture intact.
• Use a fresh toothpick for each addition to avoid cross-contamination of color.

Note: The product is made in the United States and packaged in a single 1 oz jar. It is produced in a facility that also processes peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, milk, soy, and wheat, so please review the ingredient and handling guidance before use.
