Rainbow Dust - ProGel XXL
100 g Gel Food Colouring - Black - ProGel XXL
Concentrated gel food colouring, Black shade, professional 100 g format
ProGel XXL Black delivers a deep matte black, like printing ink. This concentrated gel food colouring in a professional 100 g format is designed for boutique bakeries and high-volume production workshops. ProGel's signature advantage: it is a universal water- and oil-based colouring, working equally well with water-based mixtures (royal icing, water-based icings, syrups, meringues) and fat-based mixtures (buttercream, ganache, tempered chocolate, fondant). One tube for the entire range of pastry applications, whereas some colourings on the market require two separate ranges, one oil-soluble and the other water-soluble. The 100 g format is equivalent to approximately 4 x 25 g tubes, with around 30 percent savings per gram: ideal for boutiques that regularly handle event orders.

Uses
- Large-volume adult Halloween production

- Black Wedding cakes
- Galaxy-themed buttercream for children's birthday parties
Please note: The 100 g format is particularly useful during Halloween season and for dark wedding cakes, which have been growing strongly since 2023. For an intense black without bitterness, mix 2/3 of the preparation with 1/3 cocoa powder, then add ProGel Black: the result gains depth with less gel.

Frequently asked questions
Why choose the ProGel XXL 100 g Black format instead of 25 g?
The XXL 100 g format is equivalent to approximately 4 x 25 g tubes, with around 30 percent savings per gram. It is suitable for pastry boutiques that regularly handle event orders and for regular users of the Black shade. For occasional use, the corresponding 25 g tube remains more suitable.
What dosage should I use for 250 g of mixture?
For a pastel shade, one toothpick tip is sufficient. For a vivid shade, use 2 to 3 tips. For a dark, saturated shade, use 5 to 8 tips. It is always easier to intensify a colour than to lighten it: it is better to start with a small amount and adjust.
Can this gel be mixed with melted chocolate?
Yes, ProGel is designed to work with tempered chocolate as well, unlike classic water-based gel colourings, which cause chocolate to crystallise. Add the gel tip at the end of tempering, at 28-30 °C, and mix gently with a spatula.
