Rainbow Dust - ProGel Colorants
25 g Gel Food Coloring - Strawberry Red - ProGel
Strawberry Red gel food coloring, 25 g concentrated bottle
ProGel Strawberry Red evokes crushed wild strawberries and ripe raspberries. This concentrated 25 g gel food coloring is designed for professional pastry chefs and demanding cake design enthusiasts. Particularly sought after for birthday layer cakes with red fruit decorations and garden- and summer-fruit-themed wedding cakes, 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 that works equally well with water-based preparations (royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues, macarons) and fat-based preparations (buttercream, ganache, tempered chocolate, pastry fondant, sugar paste). One tube for the entire pastry range, whereas other colorings on the market require two separate ranges, one oil-soluble and one water-soluble. The concentrated 25 g format covers 30 to 50 preparations, depending on the desired intensity.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Strawberry Red and a classic red?
Strawberry Red is warmer and pinker than a classic red: it is a fruity red suited to birthdays, weddings, and food-themed events. It pairs well with Chestnut for a black forest effect or with Mint Green for a garden contrast.
Is this coloring suitable for chocolate coating?
Yes, it was formulated to blend into tempered chocolate without affecting its texture. Add the gel tip gradually at the end of tempering and mix with a spatula until you achieve an even color before coating or molding.
How should I store the tube between uses?
Always use a clean toothpick to remove product, close the tube carefully after use, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct light, between 15 and 22 degrees C. Once opened, use it within 18 months to maintain maximum intensity.
