Rainbow Dust - ProGel Food Colors
25 g Gel Food Coloring - Chestnut - ProGel
Chestnut shade gel food coloring, concentrated 25 g tube
ProGel Chestnut evokes roasted chestnuts in autumn and candied chestnuts. This concentrated gel food coloring in a 25 g format is designed for professional pastry chefs and discerning cake design enthusiasts. Especially popular for rustic autumn-themed wedding cakes and contemporary earthy palette birthday layer cakes, it delivers a stable, intense shade with just a few toothpick tips.
ProGel's signature advantage: it's a coloring suitable for both water and oil, 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 for the entire range of baking applications, while other food colorings on the market require 2 separate ranges, one oil-soluble and one water-soluble. The concentrated 25 g format covers 30 to 50 batches, depending on the desired intensity.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
What type of decor is the Chestnut shade best suited to?
Chestnut is a warm brown, between Brown and Ochre, widely used on autumn wedding cakes and earthy palettes. It pairs well with Cream and Olive Green for a complete autumn palette.
Do I need a different food color for each type of mixture?
No, this gel is designed to be versatile: the same formula works with water-based mixtures (royal icing, syrups, macarons) and fat-based mixtures (buttercream, ganache, chocolate, fondant). This avoids having to stock multiple products, unlike some brands that separate their oil-soluble and water-soluble ranges.
How can I incorporate this gel into a chocolate mixture without it going grainy?
Always add the gel right at the end of tempering, at around 28 to 30 degrees C, in small amounts and gently mix it in with a spatula. This method prevents the graininess that a conventional water-based color would cause.
