Gel Color 25g - Ruby - ProGel

Ruby gel food coloring, concentrated 25g bottle

ProGel Ruby evokes intense ruby, opened pomegranate. This concentrated gel food coloring in 25 g size is designed for professional pastry chefs and demanding cake design enthusiasts. Especially sought after for sophisticated autumn wedding cakes and 40th wedding anniversary layer cakes (ruby anniversary), it offers a stable and intense shade with just a few toothpick tips.

ProGel's signature advantage: it is a generalist water and oil dye, working equally well on water-based bases (royal icing, water glazes, syrups, meringues, macarons) and fat-based bases (buttercream, ganache, tempered chocolate, pastry fondant, sugar paste). One tube for the entire pastry range, whereas Colour Mill dyes require 2 separate ranges (lipo + hydro). Concentrated 25 g size covers 30 to 50 preparations depending on desired intensity.

Ruby: 3 shades depending on dosage

The shade subtly adjusts according to the dosage, without losing its identity. ProGel is dosed with a toothpick tip for precise control.

Instructions for use

1. Sampling: dip the tip of a clean toothpick into the ProGel and take a small amount. The concentrated gel format is dosed by the tip, not by drops.
2. Initial dosage: place 1 toothpick tip in 250 g of preparation for pastel shades, 2 to 3 tips for bright shades, 5 to 8 tips for dark and saturated shades.
3. Incorporation: mix vigorously with a spatula or mixer for 60 seconds to evenly distribute the gel. The gel consistency facilitates lump-free integration.
4. Rest and stabilization: cover in contact and let rest for 15 to 30 minutes. The shade develops and fully reveals itself during rest.
5. Adjustment: if the shade is too pale, take 1 to 2 additional tips and remix. Always use a clean toothpick to preserve the gel in the tube.
