Icing colouring pens are a fast and easy way to write messages on icing and are also ideal for intricate detail.
Icing colouring pens are basically like normal felt (or fibre) tipped pens but contain a special insert filled with liquid icing colouring or the very latest "edible liquid ink". Totally edible and totally safe.
We've always stocked Sugarflair pens and have sold (literally) tens of thousands of them, but are also very excited about Rainbow Dust colouring pens as an alternative . . . these double-tipped pens use the very latest "edible liquid ink" technology to offer both a broader brush tip for general colouring and an extra-fine tip for very detailed work. No longer seen as a cake decorating "cheat", icing pens are now a serious piece of kit.
"Edible Ink Technology" is a real innovation in cake decorating equipment as the edible ink tends not to crystalize or dry out as easily as traditional icing colouring pens. These new pens also offer fantastic opportunities for serious cake decorators - a great way to add fine detail to sugar flowers and figures... from tiny spots of pollen to eyelashes, the potential is amazing! A little more expensive than the Sugarflair pens (as you'd expect) but they are fantastic quality and still excellent value - especially as ours are at least 20% less than RRP.
There are 16 shades of Sugarflair pens and 23 shades of Rainbow Dust pens - these begin on page 2 below.
For best results, use icing colouring pens on dry icing such as sugarpaste or royal icing. Over time, sugar crystals will form inside the pen making the nib appear dry - especially in the Sugarflair range. If this happens squeeze a few drops of Rejuvenator Spirit into a saucer and lay the pen nib in the liquid for a few minutes. This will dissolve any sugar crystals and refresh the insert to extend the life of your pen.
Fast and easy to use for busy mums or anyone who just doesn't feel too confident about piping lettering. Not every cake we show on the site needs to be of an award-winning standard. . . it's all about having fun decorating the cake and having fun eating it. Let's be honest, most of decorate cakes for our children and friends, so anything which can save a bit of time is well worth considering. This cake was decorated by tracing an image from a comic, then colouring using icing colouring pens.
Sugarflair colouring pens are fat free, nut free, gluten free, GM free, are certified Kosher and are suitable for vegetarians. Rainbow Dust colouring pens use the latest "edible ink" technology and are also suitable for vegetarians, certified Kosher, certified Halal and also GMO free.
