Rainbow Dust - ProGel Colors
25 g Gel Color - Sapphire - ProGel
Sapphire gel food coloring, concentrated 25 g bottle
ProGel Sapphire evokes deep sapphire and royal ceremonial attire. This concentrated 25 g gel food coloring is designed for professional pastry chefs and discerning cake design enthusiasts. Especially popular for chic English-style ceremonial wedding cakes and institutional or corporate birthday layer cakes, it delivers a stable, intense shade with just a few toothpick dabs.
ProGel's signature advantage: it's a general-purpose colorant for water and oil, working just as well in water-based mixtures (royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues, macarons) as in fat-based mixtures (buttercream, ganache, tempered chocolate, pastry fondant, sugar paste). One tube for the entire range of pastry applications, whereas other colorants on the market require two separate ranges, one oil-soluble and one water-soluble. Concentrated 25 g format, covering 30 to 50 batches depending on the desired intensity.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
What events is the Sapphire shade recommended for?
Sapphire is more saturated and more formal than Azure: it's a gala blue, paired with gold and white for a solemn effect. It also works for uniform and superhero themes at children's birthday parties.
Do I need a different food coloring for each type of mixture?
No, this gel was designed to be versatile: the same formula works in water-based mixtures (royal icing, syrups, macarons) and fat-based mixtures (buttercream, ganache, chocolate, fondant). This avoids having to stock multiple products, unlike some brands that separate their fat-soluble and water-soluble ranges.
How do you incorporate this gel into a chocolate mixture without it going grainy?
Always incorporate the gel at the very end of tempering, at around 28 to 30 degrees C, in small amounts and mix gently with a spatula. This method prevents the graininess caused by a standard water-based coloring.
