- Concentration: It's very potent, so new users should start with just a few drops.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harrogate Crème Pâtisserie in North Yorkshire needed to standardise the colour of their signature vanilla slices to ensure every item in their display cabinet looked identical. Their previous colouring was inconsistent and didn't meet their new 'clean label' policy.
"We were struggling to find a yellow that looked natural and held its colour under shop lights. The Pavoni Egg Yellow is spot on. Our customers have even commented on how lovely and appealing our custard slices look!"
Michael Davies – Head Pâtissier
Switching to this commercial yellow food colouring has completely eliminated their batch-to-batch colour variations and improved perceived quality.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Always shake the bottle well before use to ensure the colour is evenly mixed.
- Start with a very small amount—a few drops—and add more until you reach your desired shade.
- For airbrushing, you may need to dilute it slightly with water or clear alcohol depending on your equipment.
- Perform a small patch test on a spare piece of icing or batter to check the colour first.
Keeping It Fresh
- Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after every use to prevent it from drying out or spilling.
- Store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, like a pantry or cupboard.
- Avoid storing it in the fridge as this can affect the consistency of the liquid.
- Always check the best-before date on the bottle for optimal performance and freshness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this food colouring suitable for vegetarians and vegans?
A: Yes, this is a water-based colouring with no animal-derived ingredients, making it perfectly suitable for both vegetarian and vegan recipes.
Q: Will this colour fade when baked?
A: No. This professional-grade colouring is specifically designed to be heat-stable and retain its vibrant hue even after baking at high temperatures.
Q: Can I use this to colour white chocolate?
A: This is a water-soluble colouring, so it is not suitable for colouring chocolate. You would need a specific oil-based or powder colour for that application.
Q: How much should I use for a standard batch of buttercream?
A: It's highly concentrated, so we recommend starting with just a few drops. You can then add more, one drop at a time, until the desired colour is achieved.
Q: Is this Pavoni KA356 food colouring gluten-free?
A: Yes, the formulation is gluten-free, making it a safe choice for coeliac-friendly bakeries and kitchens.
Q: Can it be painted directly onto a finished cake?
A: Yes, it's ideal for airbrushing or for diluting slightly with clear alcohol (like vodka) to create an edible paint for fine details on fondant or royal icing.
Q: What does 'E171-Free' actually mean?
A: It means the product does not contain Titanium Dioxide, a white pigment that was commonly used in food but is now avoided by many professional kitchens due to regulatory changes.
Q: How should I store the 190ml egg yellow colouring bottle once opened?
A: Keep it tightly capped and store it in a cool, dark cupboard away from heat and direct sunlight. Do not refrigerate.

Explore more from PavoniWhy an E171-Free Colouring Matters for Your Business
You might see 'E171-Free' on the label and wonder what it means for your kitchen. In short, E171 is Titanium Dioxide, a chemical pigment that was widely used to make colours brighter or more opaque. However, due to evolving food safety regulations and consumer demand for more natural ingredients, it's being phased out of food products across the UK and EU.
Using a colouring that is free from E171, like this Pavoni KA356 food colouring, isn't just about compliance; it's about trust. Think of it like a 'clean label' promise to your customers. It shows you're committed to using high-quality, modern ingredients in your recipes. For your business, it means future-proofing your menu and offering a product that customers can feel good about buying and eating, right down to the smallest detail.
Who Should Buy This?
- Professional Bakeries: For colouring large batches of cake batter, buttercream, and icings with perfect consistency every time.
- Artisan Confectioners: Ideal for creating vibrant macarons, chocolates, and delicate sugar work that truly stands out.
- Hotel & Restaurant Pâtissiers: A must-have for designing stunning dessert plates and signature sweet treats for your menu.
- Culinary Schools & Training Centres: An essential tool for teaching students professional colouring techniques, especially for airbrushing applications.
