I love the pink from the colour splash set and used it on the drip for my rainbow cake– and it made such a vibrant and beautiful pink colour with so little added to the ganache! It also works with even less, to make a beautiful pale pink such as with my 29th birthday cake! If you ever want to colour something brown, without it being chocolate – it is worth a good quality colouring! I often use this brown colouring as I find it creates the perfect colour. Colour mill is one of the newer brands to me, and I am already in love – the range of colours that they offer is utterly insane, and worth the price. Yes, they are quite pricey but ohhhhh they are amazing. The quality of colour is insane! I was honestly a little blown away by all the colours that were on offer. The food colouring world is an absolute minefield, and I don’t blame anyone for a being a little perplexed as to which brand to buy!

One of the first colours I used is the orange– and it is beautiful! The yellow one also makes the most beautiful sunshine yellow that I ever did see. I use the red extra food colouring when I want something red – and it is strong enough to withstand the brown of the cocoa powder in a red velvet cake. Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend any others for the job! Wilton also have the white colouring that I often use on my blog with recipes such as my rainbow cake, and my blogs 7th birthday cake. It’s quite liquid in comparison to the other colours, but I really do love it!

Supplied in colour coded, easy to use and resealable tubes, use a little or a lot and store the rest for later! Each tube contains 25g of gel. ProGel® mixes well with sugarpaste, marzipan, buttercream royal icing, cake mixes, playdough and much more. If it helps, I use all of these brands for all jobs…. colour sponges, colour buttercream, colouring ganache. It can be difficult sometimes to get the colour you want, but that comes with practice! Generally with buttercream for example, a colour will develop over time, so don’t be worried! I also use the purple progel food colouring in my rainbow cake, and for the buttercream in my rainbow explosion cake.

When you baking you inevitably use food colourings… and there are SO MANY OUT THERE. So this post is here to help you decide which ones you want to use – as I have tested so many over the years, I definitely have my favourites. I love using the blue progel colouring– I used it on the blue layer of my rainbow cake, and for the buttercream in my rainbow explosion cake.
