AmeriColor Student Food Coloring Kit — 12 Soft Gel Paste Bottles 0.75 oz, High-Pigment Colors for Buttercream & Fondant

AmeriColor Student Food Coloring Kit is a set of twelve highly concentrated soft gel paste colors in 0.75 oz squeeze bottles formulated to create vivid, reliable shades for icings, fondant, and dough without thinning or breaking down buttercream.

This compact kit gathers twelve versatile shades—Watermelon, Tulip Red, Coral Red, Turquoise, Regal Purple, Warm Brown, Maroon, Navy Blue, Gold, Moss, Eggplant, and Wedgewood—in convenient flip-top squeeze bottles. The soft-gel formula is thicker than liquid dyes but pourable enough to measure accurately, so decorators use far less product to reach intense hues. Because these gels won’t weep, separate, or harden, they’re designed to preserve texture in buttercream, non-dairy frostings, fondant, marzipan, gum paste, and modeling dough. Made in the U.S.A. and certified Kosher, this kit suits both classroom projects and home baking sessions.

How do these soft gel colors perform in buttercream and fondant?

The paste concentrates are engineered to disperse quickly without adding excess moisture, so buttercream stays stable and fondant keeps its pliability. You’ll get bold color with a smaller amount compared with liquid dyes, minimizing any impact on recipe texture.

• High pigment load for deep shades with minimal volume added
• Won’t separate or cause frostings to weep
• Maintains fondant elasticity and buttercream consistency

How do I measure and mix these colors precisely?

Each bottle’s soft-gel viscosity and flip-top squeeze cap allow accurate drops and small squeezes for repeatable results. The gel pours more cleanly than traditional pastes, making it easier to match shades batch to batch or scale a recipe without guesswork.

• Use tiny squeezes for pastel tints, heavier amounts for saturated tones
• Mix colors gradually on a palette or in a small bowl for control
• Label mixed batches to recreate custom shades later

Which projects are best suited for this 12-color student kit?

This assortment is ideal for learning decorators, classroom activities, and small bakeries that need a broad palette without bulk. The included hues cover primary and accent colors so you can mix most standard shades for cakes, cookies, and sugar flowers.

• Cookie decorating and royal icing coloring
• Covering and tinting fondant, gum paste, and marzipan
• Modeling and coloring small-scale dough or confectionery elements

Are these colors safe for allergen concerns and dietary needs?

AmeriColor Student Soft Gel Paste Colors are produced in the United States and do not contain nut products; they are not made on nut-processing equipment. They are Kosher certified, offering reassurance for certain dietary preferences.

• Nut-free ingredients and manufacturing safeguards
• Kosher certification included
• Clear labeling to assist with ingredient-sensitive kitchens
