My son requested a Spiderman cake for his 3rd birthday and my heart immediately sank, because red and black are the HARDEST colors to make AND to have them taste good. So I immediately ordered this coloring set because I figured why not? I have tried gel colors in the past and the food dye drops and never ever got close to the right colors. Red always turned pink and black was always, at most, gray, and both colors never really tasted very good. Until this color set. I made a mostly red with black spider webbing 2 tier 9-inch cake with this color set and it didn't only look good, it tasted pretty good (I also credit that, though, to using a Swiss meringue buttercream over the traditional "American" buttercream which is essentially just powdered sugar and butter). You can see in the pictures that the cake is truly red and black so this color set absolutely colors "true" and it was super easy to use. There is an included guide to help you get the right ratio of gel drops to the frosting you're using and it works great. The colors also deepen with time, so to get the red and black coloring for my son's birthday cake, I actually made the frostings the day before his birthday cake so they would have some extra time to allow the color to deepen.
