Wilton 8 Gel Icing Colour Set, 226.4 g

I've bought these gel colours several times because I know they are good quality. I use them to colour fondant icing for cake decorating and they give a good strong colour, it's easy to mix them into the fondant. Be careful to only use a little, I use a bit in the end of a cocktail stick and add a little more if necessary.

Purchased this set as had years ago and lasted for ages and in my experience gel colour gives best colour than thin liquid colours. Easy to use, nice texture which can be applied with tip of cocktail stick or skewer. Please remember when mixing colours/icing/frosting to do enough for the whole project as like paint it is virtually impossible to get same colour in two different batches. Also that colour will be slightly different when dried. Lent these to my sister for her to use with granddaughter and she was so impressed bought a set of her own. Not expensive when consider how many colours and how large the pots are compared with liquid colours available in supermarket which don't give true colours. Also can mix endless colours with selection as long as use separate skewer or cocktail stick into each pot rather than cross transfer colours.

Fantastic strong colours. The tiniest amount is needed - literally not even a drop, just a touch with a fine artists brush. These pots will last me forever! I've saved money using them in faux stained glass (instead of buying loads of individual colours, i just colour the clear or frosted medium); gel colour filters for a light (actual gels cost a fortune!). Absolute bargain.

It took me a while to get the hang of using this gel as I had wooden cocktail sticks and no matter what I did the colour was very reluctant to leave the stick, even when I dipped it into the buttercream and swished around they came out covered in buttercream rather than the colour mixing into the icing. Then I remembered I had some vintage plain plastic cocktail sticks, what a difference! Swirl enough of the thick colour gel onto the stick, hold it over the mixture and either just wait or shake it a bit and it eventually falls off, so much easier than the wooden sticks. Still no control over the amount used however which makes it a bit difficult to mix colours and very easy to get a red-brown instead of a crimson red so I ended up creating more mixture with red, using the microwave hack to brighten it, then adding that back into the red-brown mix which was still not the colour needed but closer. Although I find the colours good, in future I will go for droppers so there is more control as to how much colour I can add and mix at a time.

Never use any other brand I love these

Really good product. Worth every penny, the colors are perfect for every recipe I’ve tried it with. No issues whatsoever and the size is as described.

Fantastic colouring gel, no taste to them at all which is great. Small pots but you barely need anything to change the colour. Fantastic quality and doesn’t impact the icing at all!

I have tried so many different colourings and keep coming back to the Wilton Gels. They work perfectly in homemade playdough, icing for cakes, fondant, or anything you need to colour! You use a tiny dot and you get the most vibrant colour without effecting the taste. I use the tip of a toothpick as you really only need a little for some beautiful colours. The selection in this pack give you plenty of flexibility to mix and make a wide range of colours and shades. Great for mums, teachers, bakers or professionals!

Excellent product

Gracias, le sirvió a mi amigo

Bien reçu merci

Couleurs vives quand on cuisine. Je recommande, après avoir testé d'autres catégories. Le côté gel, pas trop liquide me paraît plus simple d'utilisation.

Das sind die besten Lebensmittelfarben. Wirklich top
