Rainbow Dust - ProGel
25 g Gel Food Coloring - Orange - ProGel
Orange gel food coloring, concentrated 25 g tube
ProGel Orange evokes blood orange peel and Halloween pumpkin. This concentrated 25 g gel food coloring is designed for professional pastry chefs and demanding cake design enthusiasts. Particularly sought after for signature Halloween layer cakes (paired with black or mulberry) and Thanksgiving cupcakes and autumn palettes, it delivers a stable, intense color with just a few toothpick tips.
ProGel's signature advantage: it is a general-purpose water- and oil-compatible coloring, working equally well in water-based mixtures (royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues, macarons) and fat-based mixtures (buttercream, ganache, tempered chocolate, pastry fondant, sugar paste). One tube is enough for the entire pastry range, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
For which occasion should you choose the Orange shade?
Sophisticated adult Halloween drip cakes. This is one of the uses where this shade makes a particularly striking difference.
How can you prevent contaminating the tube?
Always use a new toothpick for each scoop, and never dip a used toothpick back into the preparation. This practice preserves the tube's shelf life and the gel's purity.
What dosage should be used for 250 g of preparation?
For pastel shades: 1 toothpick tip. For bright shades: 2 to 3 tips. For dark shades: 5 to 8 tips. Always start with less and adjust gradually; it is easier to intensify a color than to lighten it.
