Poppy Paints MINT is a great way to start your collection of colors. Poppy Paint is a 100% FDA compliant edible confectionery paint. Each of the ingredients in Poppy Paint are approved for use as food additives, and the colorants used in our paints are all batch certified by the FDA. It is alcohol-based,  very fast drying, and does not rub off or smudge once set. It was created to be used on chocolate, especially cake pops and other chocolate-covered confectionery. However, it also works great on cookies (including macarons), gum paste, fondant, royal icing, and candies. Poppy Paint is 100% edible once dry and follows all FDA regulations. This makes your confections super shiny!

What Can a Fast-Drying Paint do for me?

A layer of Poppy Paint will dry within seconds, not minutes. This allows you to paint multiple layers and colors in one sitting, instead of having to break it up into small segments over a long period of time!

Poppy Paint won’t rub or smudge once dry, there’s no need to worry about messing up your previous work when applying the final details. Also, your paintwork will not be blemished if coming in contact with any packaging or container. Cookies and cake pops can be wrapped individually!
In addition to being smudge-proof, Poppy Paint also dries waterproof. While this might not sound like much, what it means is that you won’t need to worry about your hands or mouth being dyed when eating treats painted with Poppy Paint. No rainbow-colored tongues or fingers!

SHAKE WELL: Before using Poppy Paint, you will need to ensure it’s well-mixed. You’ll be able to see how the paint has settled on most colors, but a few (especially white and black) may appear to be well mixed even when not. For the colors in which the separation is clearly visible, shake vigorously until the color appears uniform from top to bottom. For colors like black and white where you cannot see the separation, shake even longer than the others just to be sure.
(TIP: If your paint has set for a very long time, there may be some sediment that doesn’t want to come loose from the bottom of the bottle. If this happens, gently squeezing the bottom of the bottle can help to loosen the sediment before shaking.)
