Food Coloring Paste Vs Liquid. Less liquid = more concentrated color. While liquid food coloring used to be the only option available for tinting foods, there are now many other choices, from gels to pastes to even powdered food coloring.
Make sure you add a drop at a time - food coloring is more powerful than you think! AIf you use it in the batter, just mix it with the liquid you add anyway, f.e. milk, vanilla essence or even eggs. A few drops go a long way, so stick with these unless you have a business and decorate hundreds of cookies a day.
Because paste food coloring is twice as concentrated as regular food coloring, only a small amount is required.
Liquid food coloring is usually made.
The biggest difference between gel food paste and regular food coloring is the mixability and ease of use. Unlike a liquid coloring, paste coloring does not water down icing or food. Add gorgeous hues to your hard candy, frostings, beverages, ice cream, Easter eggs, and more.
