Rainbow Dust - ProGel Colorings
25 g Gel Coloring - Ochre / Caramel - ProGel
Gel food coloring in Ochre, concentrated 25 g bottle
ProGel Ochre evokes the ochre of Roussillon and melted butter caramel. This concentrated gel food coloring in a 25 g format is designed for professional pastry chefs and discerning cake design enthusiasts. Especially sought after for earthy and modern boho themed wedding cakes and 10th wedding anniversary layer cakes (tin anniversary), it provides a stable, intense shade with just a few toothpick dabs.
ProGel's signature advantage: it is a general-purpose colorant for water and oil, working just as well with water-based preparations (royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues, macarons) as with fat-based preparations (buttercream, ganache, tempered chocolate, pastry fondant, sugar paste). One tube for the entire range of pastry preparations, whereas other colorants on the market require 2 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
Your questions, our advice
Why is the Ochre shade popular on wedding cakes?
Ochre (Caramel) is a rich, sophisticated shade that's very popular on recent wedding cakes. Paired with Crème, Chestnut and Marron, it creates a complete modern earthy palette. On a drip cake, an Ochre drizzle over an ivory base with gold sprinkles is much in demand.
Do I need a different food coloring for each type of preparation?
No, this gel was designed to be versatile: the same formula can be used 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 oil-soluble and water-soluble ranges.
How do I incorporate this gel into a chocolate preparation without it seizing?
Always incorporate the gel at the very end of tempering, at around 28 to 30 degrees C, in small amounts and gently mixing with a spatula. This method prevents seizing, which can be caused by conventional water-based coloring.
