Azucren - Gel Food Colors
30 g Water-Soluble Black Food Coloring
A deep, concentrated black for sharp contrasts in water-based preparations.
Azucren black gel food coloring is essential for high-contrast decorations: sugar paste, almond paste, sponge cakes, macarons, royal icing, or meringues. Its gel texture and water-soluble base allow it to disperse easily in all water-based preparations, delivering an intense color without overdosing.

Frequently asked questions
Do you need a lot of gel to achieve a deep black?
The gel is concentrated: a few drops are enough for an intense shade. It is better to add it gradually and mix between additions rather than adding it all at once.
Does this food coloring stain less than other black food colorings?
Its gel texture and resealable packaging limit spills compared with liquid coloring, but it remains highly concentrated: handle it with a clean utensil and avoid direct contact with skin or light-colored clothing.
Can it be combined with brown food coloring for a wood effect?
Yes, use brown as the base and add small touches of black to deepen the grain or shadows, particularly on sugar paste.
