Our company has grown, grown and grown some more. Now we do it all - the flavourings, the chocolate, the icing, the decorations. Even the candles! But we're not just about providing quality ingredients. At Dr. Oetker, we believe baking brings joy on so many levels. We're here to help bakers with inspiration, recipes and handy hints too. You know, all the other stuff that goes into whipping up something wonderful.

And that tasty treat you're in the process of whipping up? Well there's going to be joy in every slice of that too. Because those lucky people who get a bite will know it's been made with pride, passion, excitement, love, hope and care.

very poor red colour
It was more pink than red and I used the whole tube. My cake was more of a chocolate cake rather than red velvet

Fine for cake, not for buttercream
I added one entire tube for a small red velvet cake (and it did turn out a decent red after baking, even though it looked more pink as batter), however trying to get the buttercream red did not work at all and it's more of a shocking pink.

Not suitable for vegetarians
Can Ocado please stock a red food dye suitable for vegetarians. This one is made from beetles. Yet another item necessitating a trip to Tesco.

Disaster!
Like a previous reviewer - my red velvet cake, (which Ive baked very successfully on a number of occasions over the past 20 years) was a pinkish brown at best, and tasted strongly of the dye. Had to throw it all away. Not only a waste, but a big disappointment for my daughters birthday.
