ENCO Food Coloring Gel Red 8.8 oz (250 g) — Concentrated Vegan Gel for Vivid, Texture-Safe Coloring

ENCO Food Coloring Gel Red 8.8 oz (250g) is a highly concentrated, vegan gel dye designed to deliver vivid red hues without altering the texture of frostings, fondant, or dough.

Whether you're coloring buttercream, royal icing, cookie batter, or sugar paste, this professional-grade gel provides consistent, bold color with minimal product. The thick gel texture blends smoothly, so you can reach deep shades with only a few drops and maintain recipe consistency. The squeeze bottle and easy-open lid give precise control so you avoid over-coloring and waste.

How intense is the red color and how much do I need?

The ENCO red gel is formulated to be highly concentrated, so small amounts produce strong pigmentation. Start with a drop or two for pastel and light shades, then add incrementally until you hit your target tone. Because it's concentrated, colors darken as they rest, so allow a few minutes for true shade to appear.

• Concentrated formula: bold color from minimal drops
• Start small: 1–3 drops for light tones; more for deep red
• Color development: shades deepen slightly as they sit
• Suitable for large batches: 8.8 oz bottle lasts many projects

Will it change the texture or consistency of my frosting or fondant?

The gel texture is designed to add color without thinning creams or doughs. Unlike liquid dyes, ENCO gel keeps frostings stable and preserves the body of fondant and royal icing. The result is vivid color without needing extra thickener or added ingredients.

• Gel format: maintains original recipe consistency
• Works with buttercream, fondant, royal icing, and cookie dough
• Reliable texture: consistent results across batches
• Minimal volume added: avoids over-softening mixtures
