Rainbow Dust - ProGel Colorants
25 g Gel Food Color - Sapphire - ProGel
Sapphire-colored gel food coloring, 25 g concentrated bottle
ProGel Sapphire evokes a deep sapphire, a royal ceremonial gown. This concentrated 25 g gel food coloring is designed for professional pastry chefs and demanding cake design enthusiasts. Particularly sought after for chic English-style ceremonial wedding cakes and institutional or corporate birthday layer cakes, it provides a stable, intense color with just a few toothpick tips.
ProGel's signature advantage: it is an all-purpose water- and oil-based coloring, working equally well on water-based mixtures (royal icing, water-based icings, syrups, meringues, macarons) and fat-based mixtures (buttercream, ganache, tempered chocolate, cake 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.

Good to know: Sapphire is more saturated and chic than Azure or Navy Blue: it is the quintessential ceremonial blue. Combine it with luster gold and white for a British royal effect (coronation, royal wedding). For children's birthdays, Sapphire works for PAW Patrol and superhero themes (uniform blue).

Frequently asked questions
For which events is the Sapphire color recommended?
Sapphire is more saturated and more ceremonial than Azure: it is a gala blue, paired with gold and white for a formal effect. For children's birthdays, it also works for uniform and superhero themes.
Do you need a different coloring depending on the type of mixture?
No, this gel was designed to be versatile: the same formula can be used on water-based mixtures (royal icing, syrups, macarons) and fat-based mixtures (buttercream, ganache, chocolate, sugar paste). This avoids having to stock multiple products, unlike certain brands that separate their oil-soluble and water-soluble ranges.
How can this gel be incorporated into a chocolate mixture without graining?
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 graining that a classic water-based coloring would cause.
