Rainbow Dust - ProGel Colorants
25 g Gel Food Coloring - Ruby - ProGel
Ruby-colored gel food coloring, 25 g concentrated bottle
ProGel Ruby evokes intense ruby and opened pomegranate. This concentrated 25 g gel food coloring is designed for professional bakers and demanding cake design enthusiasts. Particularly sought after for sophisticated autumn wedding cakes and 40th wedding anniversary layer cakes (ruby anniversary), 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, working equally well on water-based preparations (royal icing, water-based icings, 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
For which occasions is the Ruby shade most requested?
Ruby is a deep pink-red widely used on autumn wedding cakes and 40th wedding anniversary cakes (ruby anniversaries). More sophisticated than a classic red, it pairs well with Olive Green and Ochre for a complete autumn palette.
How can I adjust the color intensity?
Always start with a light dosage (1 toothpick tip per 250 g), then add gradually: 2 to 3 tips for a standard shade, 5 to 8 tips for a deeper version. It is easier to intensify a shade that is too pale than to lighten one that is too strong.
Can this coloring replace several products in my workshop?
Yes: its general-purpose formula covers both water-based and fat-based preparations with a single tube, whereas other colorings on the market require two separate ranges depending on the base used. It saves space and money in a professional workshop.
