Edible FAQs

What are baking edibles?

Our baking edibles refer to decorations like icing and toppers that are safe to eat. Baking edibles are usually decorative, although extra flavourings for icing the fondants can also be found here.

Are baking edibles allergen-free?

It's important to check the labels on your edible toppings because the ingredients across all of them will vary depending on the type of toppings. Many baking toppings are nut and gluten-free, such as our fondant and gel food colouring. Beware that many are made in the same space as nut-based products, so cross-contamination can very rarely occur.

What kind of food colouring should I use?

Water-based food colouring (also called liquid food dye) can be used to create pastel colours in creams, wafers and cakes.

Gel food colouring creates a strong, bold colour, and is best used in icing and lollies as it is difficult to spread through cake mix.

Powdered dye creates a vivid colour, and is best used for recipes that cannot tolerate water, like macarons or chocolate.
