johntaylorspain Wilton food colouring gel helps you create gorgeously colored pastries and cakes. It comes in a huge range of colours, from basic shades to complex ones, such as burgundy and copper. It is also mixable, so if you want to add a darker shade to your frostings and icings, you can use it in combination with other colors.
What is the difference between food coloring and gel food coloring?
The Wilton Edible Gel Food Coloring Set gives you deep, rich color that won’t change the consistency of your sweet treats. It is perfect for coloring buttercream frosting, fondant and royal icings. This food dye is highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way.
This set contains a wide variety of colors including Kelly Green, Copper, Brown, Black, Burgundy, Violet, Royal Blue, Teal and Lemon Yellow. This edible gel food coloring is easy to apply and doesn’t require an oven, but you should always allow it to sit for at least 5-10 minutes to let the dye fully develop.
Unlike liquid food coloring, this gel food coloring is very concentrated. It only needs a few drops to achieve a bright, bold and vibrant color. It is a better option for those who want to have more control over the intensity of their food colorings.
This gel food coloring is very convenient, it is easy to squeeze from the bottle and it has great texture and color saturation that makes it perfect for sugar paste, marzipan, and buttercream frostings. It is also food-grade and certified kosher, so it’s safe to use with all kinds of sweet baked treats. It’s also easy to clean and doesn’t stain anything.
