Chefmaster Liqua-Gel Food Colouring

Chefmaster Liqua-Gel is a professional-grade gel food colouring known for exceptional concentration, colour stability, and fade and bleed resistance. A small amount delivers intense, accurate colour without thinning icings, batters, or fondant. The Liqua-Gel range is available in 0.7oz individual bottles, 2.3oz larger sizes, and bulk 10.5oz professional sizes — making it cost-effective for both home bakers and commercial production.

Ideal applications include buttercream, fondant, royal icing, whipped toppings, cake batter, cookie dough, and bread dough. Browse the dedicated Chefmaster Liqua-Gel collection for the full shade range, or see our broader gel food colouring range for other gel options.

Chefmaster Liqua-Gel — Key Shades

Chefmaster Coal Black

Chefmaster Coal Black is one of the most popular products in the range and one of the best black gel food colourings available. Achieving a true, deep black without a bitter or grey result requires a highly concentrated gel — Coal Black is specifically formulated for this. Available in 0.7oz, 2.3oz, and bulk 10.5oz sizes.

Chefmaster Super Red

Chefmaster Super Red delivers a deep, true red without needing excessive quantities — a common challenge with standard red food colouring. It is the go-to choice for red velvet cakes, Christmas bakes, and any application requiring a vivid, stable red. Available in bulk 10.5oz for professional use.

Chefmaster Liquid Whitener

Chefmaster Liquid Whitener (White Liqua-Gel) is used to brighten and opacify buttercream and other icings, removing the natural cream or yellow tone that butter imparts. Available in 3.5oz and bulk 16oz sizes, it is an essential product for decorators who need a clean, bright white base before adding other colours.

Chefmaster Neon Brite Range

The Chefmaster Neon Brite collection delivers vivid, electric neon shades — Neon Brite Blue, Green, Orange, Pink, and Purple — perfect for bold party cakes, kids' birthday designs, and any creation that demands standout colour. Available in 0.7oz and 2.3oz sizes.

Chefmaster Candy Colour — Oil Based Food Colouring

Chefmaster Candy Colour is an oil-based liquid food colouring specifically formulated for colouring chocolate, candy melts, and other fat-based confections. Like all oil-based colourings, it integrates seamlessly into chocolate without causing seizing — which standard water-based gel colourings cannot do. Browse the dedicated Chefmaster Candy Colour collection, or see our full oil based food colouring range for all oil-based options.

Chefmaster Airbrush Food Colour

Chefmaster Airbrush food colour is specially formulated for use in airbrush machines, providing high-coverage, even colour across cakes, cookies, and confections. The formula is designed for smooth flow through airbrush equipment without clogging, and produces vivid, consistent results across large surface areas. Browse the dedicated Chefmaster Airbrush collection for the full range of shades and sizes.

FAQs About Chefmaster Food Colouring

Is Chefmaster the same as Chef Master?

Yes — Chefmaster and Chef Master refer to the same brand. The official brand name is written as one word (Chefmaster), but it is commonly searched and written as two words. The full range is available at Baking Pleasures in Australia.

What is the difference between Chefmaster Liqua-Gel and Candy Colour?

Chefmaster Liqua-Gel is a water-based gel colouring suited to icings, batters, fondant, and most standard baking applications. Chefmaster Candy Colour is oil-based and specifically designed for chocolate and candy melts, where water-based colourings would cause seizing. Use Liqua-Gel for most baking; use Candy Colour for chocolate work.

How do I achieve a true black with Chefmaster?

Use Chefmaster Coal Black Liqua-Gel and prepare your buttercream or icing in advance. Deep colours like black develop and intensify as they sit — mix your colouring in, then allow 30–60 minutes before assessing whether more is needed. Starting with a chocolate or grey base also reduces the amount of black gel required to reach a true black.

Where can I buy Chefmaster food colouring in Australia?
