## Description

Wilton 601-5580 Icing, 12-Count Gel-Based Food Color, Acrylic Coated Cotton : desertcart.co.uk: Grocery

Review: Great purchase - way better than supermarket gel colours - I read other reviews and knew these would probably be good but I have to say I really am delighted with these. I think the key fact is that these are 'concentrated' gel colours as opposed to your standard supermarket gel colours (not concentrated) so they give a great colour with very little of the gel required (a toothpick dipped). I previously bought a gel colour in Tescos and had to use a whole tube of the colouring for one small piece of fondant so these will last a long time and as such are definitely much better value for money in the long run (they will last ages!) and you can get a great range of colours from them. The only slight negative is that it takes a couple of weeks for delivery but I knew that before ordering so I didn't mark it down as this was clear. Definitely get these, you wont regret it and the other thing to mention is that these don't interfere with the texture of your fondant because you use so little, whereas I think the supermarket ones do because you have to use so much - happy baking!
Review: Brilliant, vibrant colours - Essential coloured gels, perfect for colouring your cake batters, fondants, icing and meringues. I love the fact that there are 12 colours in this set, at under a pound each, that is great value. Also the colour is so intense you only need the slightest drop to colour, and it is easily buildable to the intensity that you need. Use a toothpick to dip in, and mix before seeing if you need to add more. I love the fact these colours stay vibrant after cooking, you cannot get that from normal food colourings, and even some of the other well known gel colour tubes, you need to use almost all the tube to produce any colour worth noticing. Wilton are a name you can trust in the baking world, and I shall definately be getting some more gel colours soon...already got my eye on the neon set!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long are they safe to keep?**
A: I can't see any "use by or sell by date"  on packaging.   I purchased this item in August 2016. The  "gell" like colouring still looks as fine, and would be happy to use the small amount required to do the job.

**Q: Can those gels be used for colouring eggs?**
A: Hi, although I have never coloured eggs my-self, I can say I have successfully  used these gels in colouring iceing and in making rainbow cakes,
The gel is concentrated and therefore strong in colour. It is he best food colouring I have used. 
Sorry I can't give you a direct answer.

**Q: Can they be used to colour buttercream? (Butter and icing sugar) and turn out colour as shown on box ?**
A: Yes. I use mine not only to colour my cake mixture/ fondant. I use it for buttercream too! :)

**Q: is it certified kosher**
A: Hi Nix, yes according to their site and information it is certified Kosher. https://www.wilton.com/gel-icing-colors/601-5580.html
