All About ProGel Ochre (Tips & Tricks)
How to create an "Antique Gold" effect with the Ochre color? The Ochre colorant is the perfect base to imitate gold without using metallic pigments. Color your fondant ochre, then once your decoration is dry, apply a thin layer of dry golden luster powder. The depth of the ochre will give a much more realistic "old gold" look than a classic yellow base.
Is the Ochre color stable during baking? Yes, the pigments in ProGel Ochre withstand oven temperatures perfectly. It is the ideal colorant to give a beautifully "golden" or "baked" look to your cookies, shortbreads, or sponge cakes without risking the color turning to a dull brown.
What mixes can be made with Ochre? Add a touch of ProGel Brown to obtain a sienna brown, or a hint of Lemon Yellow for a brighter yellow ochre. This shade is essential for creating natural gradients on sugar flowers or animal modeling.
