Rainbow Dust - ProGel
Gel Food Coloring 25 g - Purple / Violet - ProGel
Purple Violet gel food coloring, concentrated 25 g tube
ProGel Purple Violet evokes crystalline amethyst and a violet stormy sky. This concentrated gel food coloring in a 25 g format is designed for professional pastry chefs and discerning cake design enthusiasts. Particularly popular for girls’ birthday cupcakes with a princess or unicorn theme and Halloween layer cakes for children or teens, it delivers a stable, intense shade with just a few toothpick dabs.
ProGel’s signature advantage: it’s an all-purpose colorant for water- and oil-based preparations, working just as well in water-based mixtures (royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues, macarons) as in fat-based mixtures (buttercream, ganache, tempered chocolate, pastry fondant, sugar paste). One tube is enough for the entire range of pastry preparations, whereas other colorants require separate ranges depending on the base used. The concentrated 25 g format covers 30 to 50 preparations, depending on the desired intensity.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
When should you choose the Purple Violet shade?
Birthday number cakes for girls aged 8-14. This is one of the uses where this shade really makes a difference.
Does ProGel gel color mix with melted chocolate?
Yes, ProGel is designed to work with tempered chocolate, unlike conventional water-based gel colors, which cause chocolate to seize. Add a small amount of gel at the end of tempering, at 28-30 °C, and gently mix with a spatula.
How can I prevent contaminating the tube?
Always use a new toothpick for each scoop, and never dip a used toothpick back into the mixture. This practice preserves the tube's shelf life and the gel's purity.
