We have been using this food color for about 2 years at our bakery for our red velvet cakes and cupcakes. It suits us perfectly and you can’t find a better price. Love that I can get large quantities and they are always packaged and shipped well.

LOVE this big bottle of color! After HAVING to buy 2-1 ounce bottles at $ EACH, I knew I had to get back with Webstaurant & get another big bottle! I make my ("famous" ;) ) American Beauty cake several times a year, so I will NOT spend $ for food coloring! Thank you so much for offering this big bottle at a great price!

I wouldn't recommend this for red velvet cakes at all, if you do, you would end up using ton of color and the red is not satisfactory at all.

Thank you for the review Suresh. We’re sorry this product has not worked well for you. For an alternative that might better meet your needs, try this LorAnn Oils Red Liquid Gel Food Coloring - 32 oz. instead!

I’ve been using this product for my Red Velvet cakes for years. Don’t try using another red food coloring for your cakes you won’t get this beautiful color.

The McCormick culinary red food coloring is super bright and comes through perfectly in our baked goods! We use them for regular cookies, gluten free cookies, red velvet cakes and more. The bulk 32oz size is fantastic and perfect for what we need it for. Definitely recommend for your red baking needs.

We love the large bottles! And the coloring is great for our red velvet cakes and cupcakes. Doesn't add any taste to the batter either.

I have always used another brand's red coloring but they have discontinued the product. I recently tried McCormick as a replacement. This product has a chemical like smell and taste.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry you did not prefer this product. For recommendations, please contact our Customer Solutions team.

High quality food coloring, a little goes a long way! The color quality is so vibrant you just need a little bit to get a nice deep red. This bottle will last me for awhile!
