I’m just a home baker, but this black gel food coloring made me feel like a pro. It turned my buttercream a deep, true black without that dreaded dark gray I’ve gotten from other brands and it didn’t change the taste at all.I also used it to color rice paper fans for my husband’s birthday cake. I just added the gel to a deep dish of water, dipped the rice paper, and let them dry, super easy and the color came out bold and even.The buttercream and decorations turned out exceptional, and I couldn’t be happier.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend for bakers of any level.

I have prepared home made rose ice cream and I needed some color for the ultimate effect! I tried this product and I can tell you that the result was awesome but....make sure to wear gloves while handling the bottle and use a little amount (few drops go a long way). I actually stained my hand.....I panicked since I washed it several times but the color was not coming off....then I used a little bit of alcohol and after few washes it looked better. The best way (but I did not have it in the house) is a mix of vinegar and baking soda. In any case after the first time I am using the gloves just to make sure not to incur in the same situation. The product is great and the ice cream came out perfect with a touch of color, just a blush as I wanted. If you desire a deeper hue, just add more. In any case it was at a reasonable price and just what I expected.

I use this stuff for red velvet cupcakes and I’m ordering my second bottle. It works very well. You do have to use quite a bit to get the desired color but that’s just part of the recipe. The best art is the gel doesn’t add to much liquid which can make your cake batter soggy and not rise properly.

This violet Liqua-Gel transformed my baking projects with its intense, blendable pigment. A single drop delivers a rich lilac, while a quarter teaspoon creates deep grape shades—perfect for macarons, buttercream, and fondant. Unlike liquid dyes, it won’t thin batters or alter textures. The squeeze bottle offers precise control, and the color bakes true without fading.The gel is odorless and tasteless in tested recipes (vanilla cake, royal icing). However, it stains surfaces and skin easily, so handle carefully. At this price point, it outperforms grocery-store alternatives in vibrancy and consistency.A must-have for home bakers and pros alike. Just store upright to prevent leaks!

I wanted flesh color play dough for a baby shower game. I made my own dough and this dye incorporated easily, color perfect!

It’s pigmented, but if you don’t have an immersion blender, you’ll need to use a lot to get the right color.

Great color and easy to use.
