Rainbow Dust - ProGel
25 g Gel Food Coloring - Aqua Blue - ProGel
Aqua Blue gel food coloring, concentrated 25 g tube
ProGel Aqua Blue evokes clear pool water and the tropical sea. This concentrated 25 g gel food coloring is designed for professional pastry chefs and discerning cake design enthusiasts. Particularly sought after for children's ocean- and pool-themed birthday layer cakes and whale-, dolphin-, or fish-shaped royal icing cookies, it delivers a stable, intense color with just a few toothpick tips.
ProGel's signature advantage: it is a general-purpose water- and oil-based coloring, working equally well on water-based mixtures (royal icing, water-based icings, syrups, meringues, macarons) and fat-based mixtures (buttercream, ganache, tempered chocolate, pastry fondant, sugar paste). One tube is enough for the entire pastry range, whereas other colorings require two separate ranges depending on the base used. The concentrated 25 g format covers 30 to 50 preparations, depending on the desired intensity.

ProGel Aqua Blue dosage guide
The shade can be adjusted according to the dosage without losing its identity. The gel is measured by the tip of a toothpick for precise control. This shade belongs to the Rainbow Dust ProGel range, which includes 38 shades in total.
| Light dosage | 1 toothpick tip / 250 g |
| Standard dosage | 2 to 3 tips / 250 g |
| Intense dosage | 5 to 8 tips / 250 g |
Uses
- Children's ocean- and pool-themed birthday layer cakes
- Whale-, dolphin-, or fish-shaped royal icing cookies
- Summer pool party cupcakes
- Vacation- and tropical-relaxation-themed drip cakes
Note: Aqua Blue falls between Sky Blue and Turquoise: a refreshing blue ideal for summer orders (June to September). For pool parties and aquatic-themed birthdays, it is the go-to blue: combine it with Sky Blue in a gradient for a pool effect, or with Yellow and Peach for a seaside palette.

Frequently asked questions
For which occasion should you choose the Aqua Blue shade?
Destination beach wedding cakes. This is one of the uses where this shade makes a particularly noticeable difference.
Does ProGel work with all preparations?
Yes, ProGel is a general-purpose water- and oil-based gel: it works equally well on water-based mixtures (royal icing, icings, meringues, macarons) and fat-based mixtures (buttercream, chocolate, ganache, fondant, sugar paste). One tube is enough where other colorings require a separate range depending on the type of base used.
Can ProGel gel be mixed with melted chocolate?
Yes, ProGel is designed to work with tempered chocolate as well, unlike classic water-based gel colorings that cause chocolate to crystallize. Add the gel tip at the end of tempering, at 28-30 °C, and mix gently with a spatula.
