Rainbow Dust - ProGel
25 g Gel Food Coloring - Brown - ProGel
Brown gel food coloring, concentrated 25 g tube
ProGel Brown evokes a 70% dark chocolate bar and damp forest floor. This concentrated 25 g gel food coloring is designed for professional pastry chefs and demanding cake design enthusiasts. Particularly sought after for chocolate-themed or modern Black Forest birthday layer cakes and rustic, naturally wooded wedding cakes, it delivers a stable, intense shade with just a few toothpick tips.
ProGel's signature advantage: it is a general-purpose water- and oil-based coloring, working equally well on 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.

ProGel Brown Dosage Guide
The shade can be adjusted according to the dosage without losing its character. The gel is measured by toothpick tip for precise control. This shade belongs to the Rainbow Dust ProGel range, which contains 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
- Chocolate-themed or modern Black Forest birthday layer cakes
- Rustic, naturally wooded wedding cakes
- Royal icing cookies shaped like coffee cups, owls, or squirrels
- Coffee and chic chocolate dessert-themed drip cakes
Please note: Brown is used as a background or transitional color, rather than as the main covering, which can appear monotonous. Combined with Ochre and Cream, it creates a modern earthy-chic palette. On drip cakes, a Brown drip over Ochre ganache is more sophisticated than a classic melted chocolate drip.
