Concentrated bright pink coloring for fondant, icing, and buttercream
Wilton Bright Pink Gel Food Coloring lets you precisely adjust the color intensity, from a pastel shade to a deep tone, without making your mixture runny. Its high concentration of azorubine produces a saturated, vibrant magenta without veering toward red or purple.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
How much coloring is needed for a pastel shade?
A toothpick tip for 500 g of fondant or buttercream is generally enough for a pastel shade; gradually increase the amount for a more intense color.
Is this gel coloring suitable for chocolate?
No, this gel is formulated for aqueous or emulsified fat-based mixtures (fondant, icing, cream). For chocolate, use an oil-based food coloring.
Does this bright pink darken a lot during baking?
It is intended for uncooked icing and fondant; in cookie dough, the shade fades slightly during baking, so use a more generous amount.
