Fillings
In fillings, caramel colorant delivers both color consistency and a subtle caramel note. Powdered bakery caramel color is often premixed into dry ingredients to prevent clumping. For liquid fillings like fruit jams or chocolate centers, liquid caramel food coloring ensures smooth blending, providing a rich tone without overpowering other flavors.
Flavoring Syrups
Liquid caramel food coloring is the preferred option for syrups. It mixes easily and dissolves completely, giving syrups a rich, dark color and enhancing their visual appeal. Caramel food coloring is used depending on the desired intensity. Ammonia caramel provides a deeper hue and excellent stability under heat for syrups intended for cakes, pastries, or flavor drizzles.
Biscuits
For biscuits, caramel food coloring adds the perfect golden-brown finish without altering texture or flavor. Powdered bakery caramel color works best here, as it can be premixed directly into dry flour or baking mixes. A common ratio depends on the desired depth of color. For uniform results, the caramel powder should be evenly sifted into the flour before combining with other ingredients.
