Ahhhh, November! Every November, I find myself on Cakecentral preparing for the super busy upcoming birthday and holiday season.

This year should be no different!

Last year, I grew to loathe my food color choice...Wilton gel coloring, your typical stuff bought at the local Michael's. I had a terrible experience with the blue and just haven't had much confidence in the Wilton stuff since.

I'm wondering...what are your favorite brands of food coloring? I'll be using it for your general baking stuff...coloring cakes, cookies, frostings, etc.

Are you asking about powder food color or gel food color?

For gel, I use Lucks or Americolor.

Depends on the use...

Powders are more concentrated and tend not to fade like gels. But gel can blend easier into fondant and buttercreams. I personally use powder on white chocolate, gumpaste and royal icing.

Oh, forgot about ChefMaster in a pinch because I can get it local.

I prefer chefmaster liqua gel. Highly concentrated so you use very little and no waiting for it to intensify.
