Vivid Maroon Food Colouring Gel

Create rich, sophisticated burgundy and wine-inspired shades with Vivid Maroon Food Colouring Gel. This concentrated professional edible colour is ideal when you need a deeper, more muted red than a standard bright red food colouring.

Vivid Maroon is particularly useful for colouring buttercream, fondant, gumpaste, royal icing and other suitable cake decorating mediums. Its deep maroon tone is perfect for elegant wedding cakes, vintage and Lambeth designs, florals, autumn themes, sports colours and sophisticated birthday or celebration cakes.

Because Vivid is concentrated, start with a small amount and gradually build the colour until you reach your desired shade. This gives you greater control and helps avoid introducing unnecessary liquid into buttercream and icing.

For darker maroon buttercream, colour your buttercream in advance and allow it to rest. Deep colours often intensify over time, meaning you may find you need less colouring than expected.

How to Use

Add a small amount of Vivid Maroon to your buttercream, icing or other suitable decorating medium and mix thoroughly. Continue adding small amounts until the desired colour is achieved. When colouring fondant or gumpaste, knead thoroughly to distribute the colour evenly.

Tip: Wear gloves when working with concentrated colours, particularly when colouring fondant or gumpaste.
