Preema Orange Food Color adds a warm, zesty orange hue to your baked goods, confections, and desserts. This concentrated 25 g powder sachet is the go-to color for carrot cakes, orange-flavored sponges, marzipan fruits, and festive sweets across South Asian and British baking traditions.

Warm Color for Bakes & Confections

• Rich orange pigment — a small quantity achieves a vivid, even color
• 25 g sachet — compact, easy to store, long shelf life
• Heat-stable: color does not fade during baking, steaming, or frying
• Popular for carrot cakes, orange barfi, laddoo, iced biscuits, and jelly desserts

How to Use

Dissolve a small amount in a teaspoon of warm water before incorporating into batters or creams for the most even color. For modeling chocolate, fondant, or marzipan, add the dry powder directly and knead thoroughly. Start conservatively — you can always add more to deepen the shade.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I achieve red by using a lot of orange? No — orange and red are separate colors. Preema sells a dedicated red food color for crimson shades; orange will not deepen to red regardless of quantity.

How is orange different from egg yellow? Orange has a distinctly warm, reddish-orange tone, while egg yellow is a softer golden-yellow. Use orange for tropical or citrus themes and egg yellow for classic sponge-cake looks.

Does it work in chocolate? Yes — dissolve in a small amount of oil or cocoa butter before stirring into tempered chocolate for best results, as water can cause chocolate to seize.
