When your cakes need a confident, vibrant red that won’t go dull, Garrone Cherry Red Food Colouring delivers a rich cherry tone that instantly lifts sugarcraft work. Use it to colour sugarpaste (fondant) and modelling paste, or to paint crisp lines and decorative accents on smooth, finished surfaces. It’s also suitable for tinting decorating creams, helping you match themes, characters and celebration colours with ease.

How to use in sugarpaste/modelling paste: sprinkle a small amount of powder onto the paste and lightly dissolve it with a few drops of water before kneading in. For extra firmness and elasticity, you can add Tylo (CMC) to the paste. Once coloured, let the paste rest well wrapped in cling film so no air can reach it.

How to use for painting: mix the powder with a little alcohol to create a paint, then apply the desired lines with a brush. Leave to dry for a few hours for a clean, defined finish.

This cherry red shade is perfect for decorative work such as creating cars, clothing for 3D figures, highlighting motifs on cakes, and adding striking contrast to toppers and other confectionery decorations. Bring your designs to life with a colour that looks as good as it performs—then let your creativity take the lead. Add Garrone Cherry Red Food Colouring to your basket and start decorating today.
