“Deep black, without passing through grey.”
Black, without mixing colours
Black is the most difficult colour to achieve in pastry making: mixing other colourings often results in a dull grey or brown. Dr Oetker 's Food Colour Gel Black provides an intense black instantly. Like all gels in the range, it is highly concentrated and colours without soaking the mixture, making it ideal for buttercream and fondant.
Halloween, birthdays and fancy cakes
It's perfect for Halloween decorations like black cats, bats, and spiderwebs, but also for elegant black and gold cakes, sugar paste character outlines, or space-themed birthday cakes. Our tip: for a deep black, colour your icing a few hours in advance; the shade will darken as it sets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know
What is golden syrup?
It's a smooth, golden sugar syrup with a subtle caramel flavor, emblematic of British baking. Lyle's golden syrup, in its famous green and gold tin, has been around since 1883. It's used for flapjacks, treacle tart, or drizzled over pancakes and porridge.
What is black treacle?
It's a thick, intense black molasses with notes of licorice and burnt caramel. It gives gingerbread, Christmas cake, and some puddings their color and rich flavor. Just a few spoonfuls are enough.
How to prepare a homemade afternoon tea ?
You'll need warm scones , served with jam and cream, small sandwiches (cucumber, egg mayonnaise, etc.), a few pastries, and of course, a pot of black tea. A scones mix, like Green's , will make them perfect in just a few minutes.
What is English "jelly"?
In the UK, "jelly" doesn't refer to jam, but to a brightly colored fruit dessert made from cubes or powder. A staple of children's afternoon snacks, it's also layered in trifles with custard and cream. Hartley's is the leading brand.
How do I use a cake mix?
It's very simple: you usually just need to add eggs, oil or butter, and a little water, as indicated on the packaging, then bake. Brownies, muffins, cupcakes, or red velvet cakes are ready in no time, with results worthy of a coffee shop.
What is suet?
This is a fat used in traditional British cuisine for dumplings, steamed puddings, Christmas pudding , and mince pies pastry. It gives a soft and light texture. Atora offers a plant-based version in small, ready-to-use strands.
What does anti-waste mean at Candy Dukes ?
At Candy Dukes , nothing goes to waste. Products nearing or past their best-before date are offered at reduced prices, up to 80% off. You get a great deal, and a perfectly good product doesn't end up in the bin. A small step for the planet, and a big treat for those with a sweet tooth.
What is the difference between a DDM and a DLC?
The "use by" date applies to fresh products, such as meat or dairy: once this date has passed, they should no longer be consumed. The "best before" date applies to grocery products: sweets, biscuits, teas, canned goods, sauces, etc. After this date, the product remains safe to eat. Only its quality may change slightly. To reduce food waste, we only offer products with a "best before" date, never with a "use by" date.
