Rainbow Dust - ProGel
25 g Gel Food Coloring - Purple / Violet - ProGel
Purple Violet gel food coloring, concentrated 25 g tube
ProGel Purple Violet evokes crystalline amethyst and a violet stormy sky. This concentrated 25 g gel food coloring is designed for professional pastry chefs and demanding cake design enthusiasts. Particularly sought after for girls' birthday cupcakes with a princess or unicorn theme and children's or teens' Halloween layer 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, working equally well with water-based preparations (royal icing, water-based frostings, syrups, meringues, macarons) and fat-based preparations (buttercream, ganache, tempered chocolate, pastry fondant, sugar paste). One tube is enough for the entire range of pastry applications, whereas other colorings require two separate ranges depending on the base used. The concentrated 25 g format covers 30 to 50 preparations, depending on the desired intensity.

ProGel Purple Violet Dosage Guide
The shade can be adjusted according to the dosage without losing its identity. The gel is measured by toothpick tip for precise control. This shade belongs to the Rainbow Dust ProGel range, which includes 38 shades in total.
| Light dosage | 1 toothpick tip / 250 g |
| Standard dosage | 2 to 3 tips / 250 g |
| Intense dosage | 5 to 8 tips / 250 g |
Uses
- Girls' birthday cupcakes with a princess or unicorn theme
- Children's or teens' Halloween layer cakes
- Fairytale-themed royal icing cookies
- Witch or Halloween-themed drip cakes
Good to know: Purple Violet is highly saturated and works very well for children's orders with a Disney princess, Halloween witch, or unicorn theme. It is a pop color for children's creations and is not suitable for wedding cakes (choose Lilac for weddings instead). For sophisticated adult Halloween designs, combine it with Black and lustre gold.

Frequently Asked Questions
For which occasion should you choose the Purple Violet shade?
Number cakes for girls aged 8 to 14. This is one of the uses where this shade makes a particularly noticeable difference.
Can ProGel gel be mixed with melted chocolate?
Yes, ProGel is designed to work with tempered chocolate as well, unlike classic water-based gel colorings that cause chocolate to crystallize. Add the gel tip at the end of tempering, at 28-30 °C, and gently mix with a spatula.
How can you prevent the tube from becoming contaminated?
Always use a new toothpick for each portion, and never dip a toothpick that has already been used into the preparation again. This practice preserves the tube's shelf life and the gel's purity.
