I've found them in my local supermarket and in Stockmanns. They are near the coloured sugarey sprinkles and the candy decorations that go on top of cakes. Good luck!

Hi,
yeah I think the larger stores carry them. At least I have seen them in Citymarkets. I think they have only red, yellow, and blue, but I guess from those you can get all the other colors you want.

Also I think I've spotted a selection in some of the "ethnic" shops in Hakaniemi... can't remember exactly which one(s), but if you happen to visit one the others aren't far away -> http://www.lintulaakso.net/kallionbasaari/luettelo.php

The cookware shop near H+M in Helsinki centre has food colourings, even black :D

There is also this website that Karen sent me http://www.bakeandparty.com/epages/Kaup ... Shops/Bake

All of the Indian shops in Hakaniemi have it..it costs around €0.99 and you get red yellow and green powders. ( and not blue for some reason).
They are a little hard to find, but if you ask them they ll show you where they are..
There are also food coloring paste sometimes available..
