How it works

Three steps from screen to icing bag

Step 1

Pick the colour

Enter a HEX code, use the colour picker, or choose from curated palettes. Matching a wedding invitation? Eyedrop it.

Step 2

Weigh the icing

Tell Tintwhisk how many grams of white royal icing you're starting with. 250 g or 2.5 kg — recipes scale exactly.

Step 3

Mix the recipe

Get the exact gels and amounts in grams (and drops for bottled brands), with a predicted swatch so you can see the match before you mix.

Why weight beats drops

"A drop" isn't a unit. Your scale is.

Ratio charts get you close-ish — then the bottle changes, the nib clogs, and "3 drops" becomes a different colour. Tintwhisk is built on actual colour physics, not folklore.

Pigment-mixing mathsThe same Kubelka–Munk model used in professional paint matching, applied to icing.
Brand-aware recipesAmeriColor, Chefmaster, Wilton and Sugarflair differ enormously in strength. Tintwhisk knows.
Dries-darker compensationRoyal icing deepens as it dries. Tintwhisk targets the dried colour, not the wet one.
Calibrate your bottlesA ten-minute swatch test per bottle replaces estimates with your kitchen's measured truth.

Questions

Asked by every cookier so far

Will the colour really match my screen?

Honestly: screens vary, and that's physics no app can fully escape. Tintwhisk gets you to a small test batch on the first attempt instead of the fourth — and once you calibrate your own bottles, repeat colours are reliably repeatable. We also show a predicted swatch and a match-confidence rating before you mix anything.

Which colour brands does it support?

AmeriColor Soft Gel Paste, Chefmaster Liqua-Gel, Wilton Icing Colors and Sugarflair Spectral Paste at launch. Oil-based ranges like Colour Mill are deliberately excluded for royal icing — they don't disperse in water-based icing — but are on the roadmap for a buttercream mode.

What do I need to calibrate?

A £12 jewellery scale (0.01 g), a grey card, and ten minutes per bottle. The app walks you through it. Calibration is what turns good estimates into your kitchen's exact numbers.

Does it work for buttercream or fondant?

Royal icing first — it's where exact colour matters most. Buttercream and fondant modes are planned; they need their own calibration because the base behaves differently.

Can I cancel anytime?
