AmeriColor, Super Black, .75 Ounce Bottle, Soft Gel Paste Food Color

This is the only black food coloring I buy, it's the best! Perfect black every time and doesn't make the frosting taste weird. A little goes a long way, very high quality

Worked beautifully to get a jet black color without a word taste. Just a warning, make sure you take a break from mixing when you add it in. It was look like a dark charcoal grey color but if you let frosting set for a minute then it darkens to black.

LOVE this AmeriColor black gel food coloring. I used it to make a SpiderMan/Venom themed cake for my son’s birthday, and it turned out great! Not grey like many other black food dyes.

Didn’t take much to get white buttercream black with this dye! Used it for my son’s spiderman cake and it came out awesome! Didn’t stain me, washed off well. High quality , thicker dye.

Works great!!

It works very well but you need to start with the darkest chocolate frosting you can, and then let it sit for a few hours with the color. At first mine was greyish green but patience is key and it turned into the perfect black!

Does everyone use white icing or chocolate? I’m testing it still turns grayish. What am I doing wrong?

This is really good for those crazy Halloween recipes, like Bat Wings... A little goes a long way!

I had my doubts at first.. I used melted dark chocolate AND cocoa powder to start the buttercream. If you want black buttercream, always start with a brown. If you dont want chocolate flavoured buttercream, use brown food colouring, but always start with a brown buttercream before trying to make it black. At first, when I added the black, it looked very dark grey and kind of shiny?? But I left it in the fridge for 2 nights and voila!! true jet black buttercream icing!! TIP: let the buttercream rest for a minimum on 48 hours in the fridge and I promise, you WILL get true jet black. I wrapped mine in cling film. Also, I used it in dark chocolate ganache. i only used 2 tiny drops and I got the perfect jet black for a drip effect.

I needed this so I bought it. I looked everywhere for the quantity but only found inaccurate weight on the description. Turns out that it’s 0.75oz, it’s quite pricey for sure a tiny thing.
