Rainbow Dust - ProGel
25 g Gel Food Coloring - Red - ProGel
Red gel food coloring, concentrated 25 g tube
ProGel Red evokes iconic lipstick red and juicy Morello cherries. This concentrated 25 g gel food coloring is designed for professional bakers and demanding cake design enthusiasts. Particularly sought after 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 is a water- and oil-compatible all-purpose coloring, working equally well with water-based preparations (royal icing, water-based icings, syrups, meringues, macarons) and fat-based preparations (buttercream, ganache, tempered chocolate, pastry fondant, sugar paste). One tube is enough for the entire range of pastry preparations, 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.
