Why this cake decoration earns its place
The PME Paste Colours Set delivers a working palette in one box. Eight colours—Old Gold, Ivory, Berry Red, Sunny Yellow, Midnight Black, Pea Green, Hot Pink and Misty Mauve—cover the breadth of cake decoration from subtle earth tones to bold statement shades. At 25g per pot, each colour lasts through multiple batches and multiple cakes: a single pot of black easily colours buttercream for a week's piping in a busy kitchen.
These are paste colours, not liquids. That distinction matters. Paste is concentrated: a tiny amount colours large quantities of icing without thinning the crumb or the set. Mix into buttercream without breaking the emulsion. Blend into sugarpaste and fondant without overworking the dough. Fold into royal icing without rippling the set. The precision is real—you control shade depth by adding tiny increments, never guessing at dilution ratios.
Professional decorators rely on paste colour consistency. The PME set is formulated for food use and safety, mixes cleanly without streaking, and produces the true shades you see in the pot. Whether you're tinting a crumb coat, building a three-colour ombre effect, or matching a client's brand colour, these pots give you the control and reliability that fast turnarounds demand.
