I didn't have to use too much gel to get the colors I wanted and didn't notice any flavor changes and still have plenty left for future projects. I used the dye in both the white cake batter and the buttercream icing without issues - sometimes I've noticed that the gel can get clumpy but this was smooth and easy to incorporate. I used it to make the pink ombre cake and blue cake for the water. I also made a few stages of the pink icing and the bright green colors for the fish. I'll definitely be using this again!

I didn't have to use too much gel to get the colors I wanted and didn't notice any flavor changes and still have plenty left for future projects. I used the dye in both the white cake batter and the buttercream icing without issues - sometimes I've noticed that the gel can get clumpy but this was smooth and easy to incorporate. I used it to make the pink ombre cake and blue cake for the water. I also made a few stages of the pink icing and the bright green colors for the fish. I'll definitely be using this again!

I am very, very happy with them! I can't believe how nice they are. I previously used Wilton's gel colours and another brand but this is by far superior. You really only need a tiny, tiny bit and the SQUEEZE BOTTLES make it so much easier to use than other brands! So much less messy and so much easier to measure by eye, so no wasted product.
All of the shades are mostly consistent in the formula and amount you use to achieve a bright colour. In the photo I've included, I used a teeny tiny bit of pink, yellow, and blue in plain old canned cream cheese frosting (no time to make my own this time) which is an off-white to begin with. They turned out beautifully and the shades go so well together. I tested the other shades as well and love them all. The brown is a very rich chocolate brown - they all look great and they're versatile, too.
This will last me a very, very long time but when they finally expire... I'll buy more of the same. I wouldn't go back to any other brand. It's just not worth it.

The kit includes eight .75-ounce bottles of gel paste food coloring, providing a wide range of color options. The colors are vibrant, true to the packaging, and mix beautifully to achieve custom shades. From bold and vibrant hues to soft pastels, this kit has everything I need to bring my baked goods to life.
The gel paste formula is fantastic. It is concentrated, allowing for precise color control without altering the consistency of the batter or icing. A small amount goes a long way, ensuring that the colors remain vivid without compromising the texture of the final product. The gel paste also disperses evenly, resulting in consistent coloration throughout the mixture.
One aspect I particularly appreciate is the squeeze bottle packaging. The bottles are easy to use, allowing for accurate dispensing of the gel paste. The flip-top cap ensures that the colors stay fresh and don't dry out. It also allows for easy storage and prevents accidental spills or messes.
The versatility of these gel paste colors is impressive. They are suitable for various applications, including coloring cake batter, icing, fondant, royal icing, and more. The colors blend seamlessly, allowing me to create gradient effects, ombre designs, and intricate decorations. Whether I'm baking a simple birthday cake or working on an elaborate dessert masterpiece, this kit provides me with the freedom to unleash my creativity.
I've noticed that the gel paste colors from AmeriColor Soft are more vibrant than traditional liquid food coloring. This is a significant advantage when aiming for intense or deep colors. However, it's important to note that achieving lighter pastel shades may require a bit more experimentation and mixing.
The longevity of the gel paste colors is impressive. They retain their vibrancy even after baking, ensuring that the finished product looks as vibrant as when it was first prepared. The colors also hold up well under various lighting conditions, making them ideal for special occasions and photography.
Cleaning up after using these gel paste colors is relatively easy. I recommend washing utensils and bowls immediately after use to prevent staining. While the gel paste can leave a temporary tint, regular dishwashing soap and warm water usually remove any residual color.
In conclusion, the AmeriColor Soft Gel Paste Junior Kit is a reliable and versatile food coloring set for baking and decorating. With its vibrant colors, concentrated formula, and easy-to-use packaging, it provides excellent results and endless possibilities for culinary creativity. Whether you're a home baker or a professional decorator, this kit is sure to enhance your baking experience.
