Spectrum Soft Gel Colors by ATECO
Intensity. They have a very high dye
concentration, providing intense, more brilliant colors. Tint icings
lightly, cover, let sit for 20 minutes, and watch the color intensify even
further. Unlike other colors on the market, the dye concentration levels of
Soft Gel Paste do not cause the icings and toppings to develop a
bitter taste.
Consistency. Soft Gel Paste colors do
not contain propylene glycol or glycerin softening agents, which would
otherwise cause icings (especially non-dairy whipped toppings) to break
down. The color molecules and viscosity are relatively stable by comparison,
provide consistent intense color, and control fading to less than 20%, even
when exposed to direct sunlight or wide temperature fluctuations.
 Convenience. Soft Gel Paste is a pourable
product, packaged in easy to use squeeze bottles. This makes it easy to
control and keep track of how much color you add, and easier to duplicate
colors and shades. Also keeps your hands and work surface cleaner.
How much to use. Always start out
with a small quantity, like a drop or two, mixing well before adding more
color. (You'll be surprised at how much a drop can do.) Stop adding color
when, after mixing well, a slightly lighter coloration has been reached or
you don't notice any further change in coloration. Depending on what and how
much you are coloring, there are limits to how much you should use; adding
more after the point of saturation will only alter the taste, not the color.

COLOR MIXING CHART
- Deep colors are most easily achieved if you use buttercream icings and
paste food colors, which are concentrated.
- Colors intensify in buttercream icings, so mix colors a day or two ahead
of time if deep colors are desired.
- Colors fade slightly in royal or color flow icings, as the icings dry,
so tint icings slightly deeper than the shade you wish to achieve.
- Pastel colors are recommended for most decorating, including background
areas.
- Deep colors should be used sparingly and are recommended for smaller areas
such as borders, messages, flowers and other highlighted areas on a cake.
- White is ideal for achieving a pure white icing and is also recommended
for lightening and brightening colors.
Note: Some colors mentioned below are not currently available, or are
available only in larger quantities by Special Order.
