Chefmaster Black Diamond Liqua-Gel® Food Coloring | Vibrant Color | Professional-Grade Dye for Icing, Frosting, Fondant | Baking & Decorating | Fade-Resistant | Easy-to-Use | Made in USA | 2.3 oz

The only food dye brand I’ll be buying from now on! This stuff is amazing and gives rich, deep colors that generic food dye just doesn’t achieve. I used the forest green color and it didn’t leave any weird taste at all, which I really appreciated. The Christmas red color did have a slight taste, but that’s pretty standard with red food coloring in general. Overall, the quality and color payoff are excellent, and I’m very happy with this purchase.

This Coal Black Liqua-Gel is my go-to for achieving rich, jet-black frosting and fondant. The color develops quickly without needing huge amounts, which means no strange taste in the finished product. It also blends smoothly without streaks, making it ideal for buttercream, royal icing, or even macaron batter. A must-have for Halloween treats, elegant cakes, or whenever you need dramatic color. Pros: • Produces deep black color without excessive product • No bitter aftertaste • Smooth blending with no streaks • Works in multiple mediums (icing, fondant, batter) Cons: • Can stain hands and counters if not careful • Color may deepen over time, so plan ahead for shade

I’ve been using food coloring gels for over 25 years and I guarantee this is the best I’ve had. I used the red and brown for Christmas and to get a wonderful deep color of each I only had to add a couple of drops. I was pleasantly shocked!! With other brands, it has always been 10 or more. That of course depends on the brand, but Chefmaster has been the best, at least for the brown and red and there isn’t any bitter taste.

True red color, worked well in my royal frosting.

I was definitely impressed. My daughter wanted a black frosted cake and I was hesitant because everything I’ve tried leaves a bad aftertaste to get a true black. I mostly use homemade buttercream but in this instance I had very little time so I used Duncan Hines Whipped Fluffy White. I thought it would be fine as I was just frosting a heart shaped cake with no fancy piping work. I admit, I was so surprised, I didn’t have to use as much colorant as I thought and no one noticed any flavor difference. That’s amazing in itself. I’m sharing this so anyone home baking feels good ordering this. Even in store bought frosting it worked great. If you’re thinking about it, buy it, you won’t be disappointed! I included a pic of leftover frosting. It looks a little blue in the pic but not in real life! Happy decorating!

Chefmaster Red Red Liqua-Gel delivers bold, vibrant color with just a small amount. It mixes smoothly into buttercream and batters without altering texture, and the shade stays true after baking. The only drawback is that the color can deepen over time, so you may need to adjust when tinting. Overall, it’s a reliable, high-quality food coloring that gives consistently rich results.

Great buy!! Good amount and super color. Lasted through all the Christmas cookies I made for our bake sale and the color is rich and vibrant. And lots cheaper than the grocery store!!!

The best black food coloring I have ever used! Definitely worth the money! It has a perfect gel consistency, color mixed evenly, I hardly had to use any to get my frosting black. I will forever purchase this brand from now on! Highly recommend!
