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

Cake decorators will love this alternative to coloring drops and pastes. This gel is formulated with the necessary die concentration levels needed to achieve the most vibrant and brilliant colors available. Gel colors have a viscosity that offers the convenience of a pourable product, while making it easy to duplicate shades. Happily, gel color will not breakdown buttercream or non dairy icings as conventional liquid colors do. This set has just about any color you'll ever need for all your decorating projects.

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

By	W. Zientek-Sico (PerfectEntertaining.com) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars You will be happy with this, December 26, 2002

By	gtigrl "gtigrl" (New York) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!, November 5, 2002

By	Cindy Elliott (Sherman Oaks, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
