ProGel Concentrated Colour - Black

Rainbow Dust Black ProGel Concentrated Colour

Creating a true black icing can be difficult with standard food colours, often resulting in grey tones before the shade becomes strong enough. Black ProGel Colour is designed to help cake decorators achieve a deeper black finish while keeping good control over the amount of colour added.

This highly concentrated black food colouring gel is suitable for buttercream, fondant icing, royal icing and modelling paste. Because it is a gel rather than a liquid, it is especially useful when working with mixtures where consistency matters. A small amount can be added at a time, helping you build colour gradually without making icing too soft or runny.

What is Black ProGel best used for?

Black is one of the most versatile colours in cake decorating because it adds contrast, depth and definition. Use Black ProGel for:

• Halloween cakes, gothic bakes and spooky decorations
• Monochrome wedding cakes and modern celebration cakes
• Space themes, night skies and silhouette designs
• Football shirts, tyres, animals and character details
• Lettering, borders, outlines, shadows and fine accents

It can also be used carefully to darken other colours, creating richer tones for dramatic or more grown-up cake designs.

How do you get a deeper black icing colour?

Start with a small amount of Black ProGel and mix thoroughly before adding more. Black colouring often develops after resting, so allow coloured buttercream or sugarpaste time to deepen before adjusting the shade. When possible, starting with chocolate buttercream or a darker base can help achieve a stronger black with less colour.

The easy-to-use tube allows neat, controlled dispensing, whether colouring a full batch of icing or adding small decorative details. It is a practical choice for all levels of baker, who need bold results for themed, seasonal and celebration cakes.

Pair Black ProGel with white sugarpaste for clean monochrome designs, metallic lustre dusts for luxury cakes, edible paints for sharp details, or bright ProGel colours for Halloween, gaming and comic-inspired bakes.
