From Easter eggs to colorful cookies, Spectrum's gel food colorings provide a wide range of decorative touches, with gorgeous colors and an enormous range of depth. Each color--black, blue, yellow, green, pink, red, teal, orange, fuchsia, violet, sky blue, and brown--comes in a soft-sided plastic squeeze bottle that allows you to add a drop of color at a time to frostings and fillings. Paste colors are much more intense than more common liquid colors, and these will last through hundreds of fanciful cookies, providing stunning, professional-looking results. --Jill Lightner

Product Description

For coloring cakes, frostings and piping for your desserts, this set of Food Colors offers every color imaginable. Twelve colors are included -- black, blue, yellow, green, pink, red, teal, orange, fuchsia, violet, sky blue and brown. The dyes used in making these particular colors are more intense than most others, providing rich icings that will not fade even if they're exposed to heavy sunlight or radical temperature changes. The soft gel pastes come in .75-oz. squeeze bottles that are easy to use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful product gives professional results October 25, 2002

By W. Zientek-Sico

The spectra paste food colors are simply fantastic. They provide a depth and clarity of color that is impossible to achieve with liquid food colors. And the hues are beautiful and distinctive. The black and red, two colors which are very difficult to get when dying frostings, etc. are especially nice - probably the best of any manufacturer I have tried.

For those who had questions, I am not 100% certain about the sizes, but if the set is the same as mine, the bottles are 3/4 ounce. While that might not seem like much, all you need is a dot of this thick gel paste at the end of a toothpick to color large amounts of material. So there is plenty of coloring ability in each bottle - many, many times more than a same sized liquid food color bottle.

Highly recommended and at a really good price at the time of this review.

For those wondering, the bottles are each 3/4 oz. and they are a gel food color.

Very vibrant, the amount goes far for me.

I'm really glad I bought the Ateco 12-Color Food Coloring Kit. I found it searching for Black food coloring for my Halloween cookies. I just finished my Christmas cookies which turned out amazingly thanks to this food coloring kit.

Each color is very bright and solid. The pastes mix very well with frosting (I have not used them for anything else yet). These are the nicest/brightest Christmas sugar cookies I have ever made.

You don't need to use a lot of coloring, just a drop or two, to get the perfect shade. As such, each bottle will last a long time.
