All About ProGel Sapphire (Tips & Tricks)
How to get a "night" or "galactic" blue? Sapphire is an excellent base for dark blues. For an even deeper effect, you can add a touch of ProGel Black. Conversely, if you want a more electric or cyan blue, mix it with a touch of white or use it in very small amounts on a white base.
Does the Sapphire coloring resist baking? Yes, the pigments used in the ProGel range are heat stable. You can color your sponge cakes or cookies in the batter without fear that the blue will dull or turn gray during baking.
Why does my fondant look grainy after adding the coloring? If grains appear, it usually means the mixture has not been worked enough. ProGel requires vigorous kneading so that the pigments stretch and fully blend with the sugar. Once well kneaded, your dough will regain all its suppleness and smooth appearance.
