Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
Sweet Sensations, a popular bakery in Bristol, needed a reliable colouring solution for their signature Valentine's Day and Mother's Day cupcake ranges. Their previous liquid colours were inconsistent and often faded after baking, leading to wasted batches and frustrated staff.
"Switching to the PME hot pink food colouring paste was a revelation. We finally get that perfect, punchy pink every single time, from the first cupcake to the last. Our customers have even commented on how much more vibrant the bakes look!"
Michael Davies – Head Baker
After making the switch, Sweet Sensations achieved 100% colour consistency across batches and reduced their colouring usage by over 30% thanks to the concentrated formula.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Always start with a clean, dry tool like a toothpick or cocktail stick to add colour.
- Begin with a very small amount; you can always add more, but you can't take it away!
- Add the gel directly to your icing or batter and mix thoroughly to ensure an even colour distribution.
- For a deeper colour, let your mixture sit for a few minutes as the colour will often intensify over time.
Storage & Best Practices
- Ensure the cap is screwed on tightly after each use to prevent the gel from drying out.
- Store the tube in a cool, dark place like a cupboard, away from direct sunlight.
- To avoid cross-contamination, always use a fresh toothpick each time you dip into the tube.
- Check the best-before date on the packaging to ensure maximum vibrancy and quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this hot pink food colouring paste 25g alter the taste of my icing?
A: No, PME gel pastes are formulated to be flavourless, so they won't impart any unwanted taste to your creations, even when achieving deep colours.
Q: Is this product suitable for vegans?
A: This specific product is vegetarian but may not be vegan. Always check the ingredients list for the most up-to-date information to ensure it meets your dietary needs.
Q: How do I get a pastel pink instead of a hot pink?
A: It's easy! Just use a minuscule amount. Dip the very tip of a cocktail stick into the gel and mix it in. You can build up the colour gradually until you reach the desired pastel shade.
Q: Will the colour change when I bake it in a cake?
A: PME colours are very stable. While all food colours can alter slightly with heat, this gel is designed to remain vibrant and true to its original shade after baking.
Q: Can I use this to colour chocolate?
A: No, this is a water-based gel. For colouring chocolate, you need to use a specific oil-based food colouring to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
Q: How much gel is in the tube?
A: This tube contains 25g of concentrated hot pink food colour PME HU314. A little goes a very long way!
Q: Can I mix this with other PME colours?
A: Absolutely! These gels are designed to be mixed. You can create a whole spectrum of custom colours by blending them together.
Q: Will this stain my hands or work surfaces?
A: As it's a highly pigmented colour, it can stain. We recommend wearing gloves and protecting your work surfaces. If you do get it on your skin, wash it promptly with soap and water.
The PME Promise: Consistency in Every Tube
When you buy a PME product, you're investing in more than just an ingredient; you're buying decades of expertise and a reputation for unwavering quality. For professional bakers and cake artists, consistency is currency. A client's order for a specific shade of pink needs to be the exact same shade today as it was six months ago. PME understands this better than anyone. Their meticulous manufacturing process ensures that every tube of hot pink food colouring paste delivers the same vibrant, reliable hue, batch after batch. This commitment to quality eliminates guesswork, reduces costly re-bakes, and builds trust with your own customers. It's the kind of long-term value that doesn't appear on a spec sheet but makes all the difference in a busy, professional kitchen where results matter most.

Ever wonder why professional bakers favour a gel paste over the little liquid bottles from the supermarket? It's all about concentration and moisture control. Think of liquid colouring like watercolour paint – it's thin and you need a lot of it, which adds unwanted water to your recipe. This can ruin the texture of delicate buttercream, royal icing, or macarons, making them runny and unstable.
This PME gel paste, however, is like thick, rich acrylic paint. It’s a highly concentrated professional food colouring paste for baking, suspended in a glycerine and/or corn syrup base. This means you get an incredibly intense colour from just a tiny speck on the end of a toothpick, without adding any extra liquid. Your icing stays stiff, your meringue remains glossy, and your colours stay true and vibrant. It gives you precise control for professional results every time.
