Rainbow Dust - ProGel Colorants
25 g Gel Food Coloring - Chestnut - ProGel
Chestnut-colored gel food coloring, 25 g concentrated bottle
ProGel Chestnut evokes roasted chestnuts in autumn and marron glacé. This concentrated 25 g gel food coloring is designed for professional pastry chefs and demanding cake design enthusiasts. Particularly sought after for rustic autumn-themed wedding cakes and contemporary earthy-palette birthday layer 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 preparations (royal icing, water-based icings, syrups, meringues, macarons) and fat-based preparations (buttercream, ganache, tempered chocolate, pastry fondant, sugar paste). One tube for the entire pastry range, whereas other colorings on the market require two separate ranges, one oil-soluble and one water-soluble. The concentrated 25 g format covers 30 to 50 preparations, depending on the desired intensity.

Frequently asked questions
What type of décor is the Chestnut shade best suited for?
Chestnut is a warm brown, midway between Brown and Ochre, widely used on autumn wedding cakes and earthy palettes. It pairs well with Cream and Olive Green for a complete autumn palette.
Do I need a different coloring for each type of preparation?
No, this gel was designed to be versatile: the same formula can be used on water-based preparations (royal icing, syrups, macarons) and fat-based preparations (buttercream, ganache, chocolate, sugar paste). This avoids having to keep multiple products in stock, unlike some brands that separate their oil-soluble and water-soluble ranges.
How can I incorporate this gel into a chocolate preparation without graininess?
Always incorporate the gel at the very end of tempering, at around 28 to 30 degrees C, in a small quantity, mixing gently with a spatula. This method prevents the graininess that a conventional water-based coloring would cause.
