Rainbow Dust - ProGel Food Colorants
25 g Gel Food Coloring - Ochre / Caramel - ProGel
Ochre-colored gel food coloring, concentrated 25 g bottle
ProGel Ochre evokes the ochre of Roussillon and melted butter caramel. This concentrated 25 g gel food coloring is designed for professional pastry chefs and discerning cake design enthusiasts. Particularly sought after for earthy and modern boho wedding cakes and 10th wedding anniversary layer cakes (tin anniversary), it delivers a stable, intense color 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 glazes, 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
Why is Ochre so popular for wedding cakes?
Ochre (Caramel) is a rich and sophisticated color that is very popular on recent wedding cakes. Combined with Cream, Chestnut, and Brown, it creates a complete modern earthy palette. On a drip cake, Ochre coulis on an ivory base with gold sprinkles is highly sought after.
Do you need a different coloring depending on the 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 certain brands that separate their oil-soluble and water-soluble ranges.
How can you 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 graining that a conventional water-based coloring could cause.
