Difference Between Icing Color And Gel Color

Hi Everyone!
I'm so happy I found this site, it's so addicting!
I was asked to make a 2 tier cake for my sisters mother in law in April and I need to color fonadant and icing....while looking for colors I noticed Wilton has icing colors and also right next to that on the shelf there is Americolor soft gel food coloring....I got confused....I know I'm supposed to use a gel because it's thicker but what is the difference? Can I use the Americolor gel to color both the buttercream icing AND the fondant?
Any advice is very helpful,
Thanks so much
They will both work. They are a thicker more concentrated gel color rather than the liquid stuff you find at the grocery store.
Thank you! I was thinking they were the same thing but I always second guess myself!
Thanks again
The Wilton colors are also gels these days.
Most of use like the AmeriColrs better as they seem to produce more intense, true colors. Either &/or both work in for any type icing there is.
