Rainbow Dust - ProGel Colorings
25 g Gel Coloring - Strawberry Red - ProGel
Strawberry Red gel food coloring, concentrated 25 g bottle
ProGel Strawberry Red evokes crushed Mara des Bois strawberries and ripe raspberries. This concentrated 25 g gel food coloring is designed for professional pastry chefs and discerning cake design enthusiasts. Especially sought after for birthday layer cakes with red fruit decorations and garden- and summer fruit-themed wedding cakes, it delivers a stable, intense shade with just a few toothpick tips.
ProGel's signature advantage: it's a coloring suitable for water and oil, 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 for the entire range of pastry applications, whereas other colorings on the market require 2 separate ranges, one oil-soluble and one water-soluble. The concentrated 25 g format covers 30 to 50 batches, depending on the desired intensity.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
What's the difference between Strawberry Red and a classic red?
Strawberry Red is warmer and pinker than a classic red: it's a fruity red that's ideal for birthdays, weddings, and festive occasions. It pairs well with Chestnut for a Black Forest effect or with Mint Green for a garden contrast.
Is this coloring suitable for chocolate coating?
Yes, it was formulated to blend into tempered chocolate without affecting its texture. Gradually add a dab of gel at the end of tempering and mix with a spatula until the color is uniform before coating or molding.
How should I store the tube between uses?
Always use a clean toothpick to scoop out the color, close the tube carefully after use, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct light, between 15 and 22 degrees C. Once opened, use within 18 months to maintain maximum intensity.
