Rainbow Dust - ProGel
Gel Food Coloring 25 g - Ruby - ProGel
Red gel food coloring, concentrated 25 g tube
ProGel Ruby evokes iconic lipstick, juicy Morello cherry. This concentrated gel food coloring in a 25 g tube is designed for professional pastry chefs and demanding cake design enthusiasts. Particularly sought after for Valentine's Day layer cakes, as well as wedding cakes, end-of-year weddings, or festive receptions, it delivers a stable, intense shade with just a few toothpick-tip doses.
ProGel's signature advantage: it's a general-purpose coloring for water and oil, working just as well in water-based preparations (royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues, macarons) as in fat-based preparations (buttercream, ganache, tempered chocolate, pastry fondant, sugar paste). One tube is all you need for the entire pastry range, whereas other food colorings require two separate ranges depending on the base used. The concentrated 25 g size covers 30 to 50 batches, depending on the desired intensity.
