★★★★★ Absolutely Stunning Color—
I’m obsessed with this Chefmaster Neon Purple Liqua-Gel! The color is incredibly vibrant and rich—exactly what I was looking for. You only need a tiny drop to get bold, beautiful results, which makes this bottle last a long time. I’ve used it in buttercream, royal icing, and fondant, and the color comes out smooth and even every time with no bitter aftertaste. What really impressed me is that the color stays true and doesn’t fade, even after sitting out for hours. It mixes easily, doesn’t change the texture of my frosting, and gives a very professional finish. Perfect for cakes, cupcakes, and detailed decorating work. If you’re serious about baking or decorating and want a reliable, high-quality purple, this is 100% worth it. I’ll definitely be repurchasing! 💜🎂

So Good!
The only food dye brand I’ll be buying from now on! This stuff is amazing and gives rich, deep colors that generic food dye just doesn’t achieve. I used the forest green color and it didn’t leave any weird taste at all, which I really appreciated. The Christmas red color did have a slight taste, but that’s pretty standard with red food coloring in general. Overall, the quality and color payoff are excellent, and I’m very happy with this purchase.

Finally, a true deep black without turning icing bitter or gray
This Coal Black Liqua-Gel is my go-to for achieving rich, jet-black frosting and fondant. The color develops quickly without needing huge amounts, which means no strange taste in the finished product. It also blends smoothly without streaks, making it ideal for buttercream, royal icing, or even macaron batter. A must-have for Halloween treats, elegant cakes, or whenever you need dramatic color. Pros: • Produces deep black color without excessive product • No bitter aftertaste • Smooth blending with no streaks • Works in multiple mediums (icing, fondant, batter) Cons: • Can stain hands and counters if not careful • Color may deepen over time, so plan ahead for shade

Switching to Chefmaster!!
I’ve been using food coloring gels for over 25 years and I guarantee this is the best I’ve had. I used the red and brown for Christmas and to get a wonderful deep color of each I only had to add a couple of drops. I was pleasantly shocked!! With other brands, it has always been 10 or more. That of course depends on the brand, but Chefmaster has been the best, at least for the brown and red and there isn’t any bitter taste.

Great option
Beware of the staining! It will stain anything and everything. My bottle’s pull-tab seal was still intact upon arrival, but the gel was somehow seeping out. As for actually coloring food, it worked really well. You can decide the color consistency by how many drops you put in. Bottle is fairly large, it will last me (non baker) a good while.

Scared of Black frosting!
I was definitely impressed. My daughter wanted a black frosted cake and I was hesitant because everything I’ve tried leaves a bad aftertaste to get a true black. I mostly use homemade buttercream but in this instance I had very little time so I used Duncan Hines Whipped Fluffy White. I thought it would be fine as I was just frosting a heart shaped cake with no fancy piping work. I admit, I was so surprised, I didn’t have to use as much colorant as I thought and no one noticed any flavor difference. That’s amazing in itself. I’m sharing this so anyone home baking feels good ordering this. Even in store bought frosting it worked great. If you’re thinking about it, buy it, you won’t be disappointed! I included a pic of leftover frosting. It looks a little blue in the pic but not in real life! Happy decorating!

液体なので、考えてませんでしたが 綺麗に溶けないです。 しつこく混ぜても、点々と模様みたいに、そのまま残ります。 青寄りの紫で、色は綺麗なのに残念ですね。

アイシングクリームの色付けに購入。 数的で出したい色を出せるのでとても便利。液状なので綺麗に混ぜれるのも良い。
