Rainbow Dust - ProGel
25 g Gel Food Coloring - Red - ProGel
Red gel food coloring, concentrated 25 g tube
ProGel Red evokes iconic lipstick and juicy Burlat cherries. This concentrated 25 g gel food coloring is designed for professional bakers and discerning cake design enthusiasts. Especially popular for Valentine’s Day layer cakes, as well as wedding cakes, year-end weddings, or festive receptions, it delivers a stable, intense shade with just a few toothpick tips.
ProGel’s signature advantage: it’s a versatile water- and oil-based colorant that works 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 all you need for your entire range of baking, whereas other colorants require two separate ranges depending on the base used. The concentrated 25 g size covers 30 to 50 preparations, depending on the intensity desired.
