Rainbow Dust - ProGel Food Colorings
Gel Food Coloring 25 g - Ruby - ProGel
Ruby gel food coloring, concentrated 25 g bottle
ProGel Ruby evokes intense rubies and opened pomegranates. This concentrated gel food coloring in a 25 g size is designed for professional pastry chefs and demanding cake design enthusiasts. Especially sought-after for sophisticated autumn wedding cakes and layer cakes for 40th wedding anniversaries (ruby anniversaries), it delivers a stable, intense shade with just a few toothpick tips.
ProGel's signature advantage: it is a general-purpose coloring suitable for water and oil, working just as well in water-based mixtures (royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues, macarons) as in fat-based mixtures (buttercream, ganache, tempered chocolate, pastry fondant, sugar paste). One tube for the entire range of pastry applications, whereas other food colorings on the market require two separate ranges, one fat-soluble and one water-soluble. The concentrated 25 g size covers 30 to 50 preparations, depending on the desired intensity.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
For which occasions is the Ruby shade most in demand?
Ruby is a deep red-pink widely used on autumn wedding cakes and for 40th wedding anniversaries (ruby anniversaries). More sophisticated than classic red, it pairs well with Olive Green and Ochre for a complete autumn palette.
How can I adjust the color intensity?
Always start with a light dose (1 toothpick tip per 250 g), then add gradually: 2 to 3 tips for a standard shade, 5 to 8 tips for a deeper shade. It’s easier to intensify a shade that’s too pale than to lighten one that’s too intense.
Can this colorant replace several products in my kitchen?
Yes: its versatile formula covers both water-based and fat-based preparations with a single tube, whereas other colorants on the market require two separate ranges depending on the base used. This saves space and money in a professional kitchen.
