Cake decorators will love this alternative to coloring drops and pastes. This gel is formulated with the necessary die concentration levels needed to achieve the most vibrant and brilliant colors available. Gel colors have a viscosity that offers the convenience of a pourable product, while making it easy to duplicate shades. Happily, gel color will not breakdown buttercream or non dairy icings as conventional liquid colors do. This set has just about any color you'll ever need for all your decorating projects.

Deep color depth

Professional-quality food colorings

Squeeze bottle allows precise color control

12-color range

For those who had questions, I am not 100% certain about the sizes, but if the set is the same as mine, the bottles are 3/4 ounce. While that might not seem like much, all you need is a dot of this thick gel paste at the end of a toothpick to color large amounts of material. So there is plenty of coloring ability in each bottle - many, many times more than a same sized liquid food color bottle.

Highly recommended and at a really good price at the time of this review.

You will be happy with thisDec 26, 2002

I'm really glad I bought the Ateco 12-Color Food Coloring Kit. I found it searching for Black food coloring for my Halloween cookies. I just finished my Christmas cookies which turned out amazingly thanks to this food coloring kit.

Each color is very bright and solid. The pastes mix very well with frosting (I have not used them for anything else yet). These are the nicest/brightest Christmas sugar cookies I have ever made.

You don't need to use a lot of coloring, just a drop or two, to get the perfect shade. As such, each bottle will last a long time.

Great!Nov 06, 2002

For those wondering, the bottles are each 3/4 oz. and they are a gel food color.

Very vibrant, the amount goes far for me.

This is the same product as Americolor,apparentlyApr 01, 2010
By S. Lam
I just bought this set and I have not had the chance to try it, though I'm looking forward to it. However, I just wanted to note that to my surprise, one of the dyes actually had the "AmeriColor" label on it, which I thought was a completely different brand of food coloring. It was leaf green from AmeriColor rather than green from Ateco. Furthermore, the bottles were all completely identical between the Americolor and other Ateco bottles in the bo. I don't know if maybe they just remove the labels from AmeriColor bottles and add Ateco labels? At any rate, you can save a few bucks by buying the cheaper AmeriColor since I think it's pretty clear that they are the same thing...

A must have!Aug 09, 2000
By Stephanie Manley
These are easy to use, they do not make a mess, and offer vibrant colors. They do not taint what you are decorting as some colors can. I would highly recommend these to anyone to likes to decorate.
