I typically use Wilton dyes, but hate those little jars, because often they leak or it is a pain getting gel out without using multiple toothpicks, so I thought I'd try these. I absolutely love how you can just squeeze the sides to get out the dye. It is slightly more watered down than Wilton brands so you have to use a few more drops, but gives an excellent colour that doesn't leak. but I would still classify them as excellent gel dyes for icing. One thing to note is that the colour does tend to darken/deepen after being mixed into icing and leave it sit for a bit, so if you are looking for a dark green/blue/etc. I suggest mixing some and if it is a bit on the light side, letting it sit for about 20-30 mins in the fridge and then taking a look at it as the colour deepens nicely. They were easy to open, take up less space than the wilton brand dyes, haven't leaked at all or anything like that. Note: I've only used these on buttercream icings - I did not use them to add colour to something that went into the oven so I can't comment on that. Read more

When I say use sparingly I mean it! If you're using for slime I suggest using clear glue to get the most vibrant shade possible, BUT USE A TOOTHPICK to swipe the color from the bottles. if you put too much squeeze and a whole drop goes in, or heaven forbid more... your hands (and anything else that slime EVER TOUCHES) are doomed! I have been a chef for over 20 years and I can say that these colors are the same quality and strength we use in commercial kitchens. If you are thinking they will be like the ones you buy in he baking section of the grocer you're wrong! So add a lil at a time no matter what you're using them for. Like we say in the kitchen, "You can always add more, but you can't take it out!" we also got these add ins on amazon that were very cool! There is a huge variety in the kit, and if you have children that love making slime as much as (if not more than) playing with it, then these amounts work great for small batches (1/4C-1/2C glue, equal ratio of water, activator as needed) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DQKP3KL/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Read more

Years ago I used another brand of food dye from a grocery store to try to make green cream cheese frosting for a Christmas red velvet cake. I had to use so much dye to get the deep shade I wanted, it thinned out the frosting so much the two layers of cake were practically touching. I did not even come close to having that problem with Good Cooking Liqua-Gel Food Coloring--in fact I had a little bit of the opposite problem, which I'm not complaining about at all! I used these food dyes to decorate a dragon cake and castle smash cake for my daughter's first birthday. As you can see in the photos, the colors on the dragon cake are vibrant. Aside from the candy and fresh fruit "jewels" and milk chocolate door, every decoration on these cakes is colored with Good Cooking Gourmet Liqua-Gel Food Coloring. I used the fuschia dye for the pink buttercream frosting on the dragon's body, the lemon yellow dye for the yellow buttercream frosting on the "gold" horde, and the violet dye for the white chocolate purple wings and spikes. It only took a few drops to get the vibrant shades of each color that I wanted, so it did not change the consistency of the buttercream frosting or the white molding chocolate. I used the coal black dye for the gray castle smash cake. It only took exactly one drop--yes ONE--to get the gray shade I wanted for the buttercream frosting and white chocolate stones, and I had to use extra buttercream and white molding chocolate so it wouldn't come out too dark! Yes, I actually had to dilute the dye instead of diluting the frosting and white chocolate to get my desired, lighter shade. It was a nice problem to have compared with my experience with another brand. And I love that this set comes in a pack of 12 assorted colors, so I didn't have to spend a lot of time and money to get all the colors I needed for my project. Since it only takes a few drops to get the color I want, I'll be able to use this same set for many more projects, which means I save yet more time and money. Word of advice: wear gloves to protect your hands when using these dyes. They are very effective, and stain the skin. I did not experience any skin irritation or any other adverse reaction, but it took several washings over the course of two days to get the fuchsia stains off my hands. Again, I'm not complaining, just driving home the point of how effective these dyes are. I highly recommend this 12 pack of Good Cooking Gourmet Liqua-Gel Food Coloring to fellow cake decorators, and look forward to the many more projects I'll be able to complete using this one set.
