FunCakes gel colours are a trusted classic for anyone who wants to colour sugarpaste, buttercream or batter with precision. These Food Colour Gels in 30 g pots are concentrated, economical and easy to dose finely – ideal for home bakers and professional cake studios alike.
What to use FunCakes gel colours for
The gel colours are suitable for water-based and sugar-based mixtures:
- sugarpaste, modelling paste and marzipan
- buttercream, frosting and royal icing
- cake, cupcake and biscuit doughs
- macarons, meringues and glazes
Because the colour comes as a gel, it hardly changes the consistency of your mixture, so sugarpaste stays pliable and buttercream keeps its shape. For chocolate, oil-based colours such as Colour Mill are the better choice.
Colour range
Around 30 shades are available, including classics such as yellow and royal blue as well as distinctive colours like emerald, mint green and gooseberry. All colours can be mixed with each other, so you can easily create your own tones for themed cakes, cupcakes or biscuits.
How to dose correctly
It is best to take the colour out of the pot with a cocktail stick or a clean spatula and work it in thoroughly. Start sparingly and add more if needed – strong shades such as red or black may deepen after resting. Close the pot tightly after use.
Frequently asked questions about FunCakes gel colours
How much gel colour do I need?
That depends on the shade you want. For pastel tones, a small amount on the tip of a cocktail stick is often enough; for strong colours you will need more.
Will gel colour make sugarpaste sticky?
As only a little colour is needed, the consistency of sugarpaste is usually retained.
Can I use FunCakes gel colours for chocolate?
For chocolate we recommend fat-soluble colours, for example Colour Mill.
