List of products by brand Rainbowdust

Rainbow Dust Colours Ltd. is the specialist for vivid and bright colours on all kinds of creations. The head office is in Preston, but in the meantime the colours are sold all over the world. Due to the high quality, the wide range of colours and the versatile application possibilities, the Rainbow Dust products are especially popular with professional cake artists and of course also hobby bakers. The colours also have many applications in confectionery and pâtisserie.

One of our absolute favourite product lines is the Progel colours. But we also wouldn't want to miss the airbrush colours, decorative powders, food colours and powder colours. Such a selection offers many possibilities, but of course it can also be a bit overwhelming. So which product is the right one for your planned creation? With our small overview you will surely find the right one!

Powder colours

Mixed with a little water or alcohol, powder colours can be applied evenly. You can also create coloured lettering with a fine brush. The alcohol evaporates immediately, so it is absolutely safe for children to enjoy the treat. When dry, the powder can also be simply brushed on. For a particularly realistic look, the inside of a modelled rose, for example, is coloured a little darker. Petal edges can also be lightly powdered and in the centre of the flower, a little yellow or orange powder creates a noble pollen dust.

We do not recommend using the powder colours to colour masses. The colouring often becomes rather irregular and the consistency of the mass is changed, which would massively impair the quality of the shells in macarons, for example.

Decorating powder

In contrast to powder colours, this powder is only used dry. But then it is also finely brushed on or dusted lightly over the creation. Decorative powder also colours much less strongly. Instead, it provides a delicate touch of colour and a noble shine. It is therefore also very suitable for accents on delicate flowers or for finishing cupcakes and cakes decorated with fondant.

Metallic food colouring

Metallic food colouring lives up to its name. After a short shake, the jars can be unscrewed and all kinds of creations can be refined with a metallic shine. The colour is applied with fine brush strokes and covers better than, for example, mixed powder colours.

Food colouring pearlescent

Similar to the metallic colours, the pearlescent colours can also be easily applied with a brush. The colouring is a little more delicate, but shines at least as beautifully. The colour can be dabbed on with a clean sponge to create a particularly beautiful pattern.

Airbrush paint

The function of airbrush paints is easiest to describe: the paint can be filled into the airbrush drop by drop and then sprayed on as a fine mist. The consistency is optimally adapted to the requirements, the spray gun does not stick and no irregular colouring occurs. Primers, patterns and also various motifs can be conjured up with the airbrush. Airbrush stencils are particularly helpful for this purpose and even novices can use them to create detailed pictures.

Progel colours

The progel colours are among our absolute favourites. Their consistency makes them extremely versatile and they can even transform macaron shells into colourful treats without them becoming muddy or losing their little feet. In addition, Progel colours strongly and brightly, so one tube is very productive and provides for hundreds of colourful pastries and other desserts. Progel colours can be used for almost all masses, except for couverture, for example, which requires a fat-soluble colour.

Buttercream, macaron shell dough, royal icing, fondant or cake fillings and jellies can be coloured with Progel without any problems. As a gel colour it does not change the consistency of the mass, so the delicate macaron shells do not become too dry as with powder colours and not too moist as with liquid colours. During baking, the dough may lose a little of its colour, but you should not colour it more than desired, as this depends very much on the mass.

As the gel colour does not have a strong flavour of its own, it is also suitable for fine masses such as vanilla cream or already flavoured mousses. For a perfect colour, it is best to add a small dab of colour to the mixture or a small part of it if you do not want to stir it too much. Add more progel as needed, but even small amounts will give an intense colour.
