I have a recipe that calls for 6 tablespoons of liquid red food color. If I use this gel instead, how much would I need to equal that?

Red is a hard color to use you may have to use more then six table spoon until achieve the color u want

I am looking for a red red for Christmas cookies. Will one of these reds turn out true red and not dark pink, like I typically get?

My experience with this food coloring ended up a darker pink color instead of red. I needed a good red color to make Elmo cupcakes for my nephew and was disappointed when the frosting came out pink. Good luck.

Can you put this into water? Will it spread easily in water, I mean, or will it just clump together? I've never used a gel coloring before.

Yes, it will need a stir, and will completely spread in water. If you want to just dispense a drop or two for immediate dispersion, use Red Red AmeriMist color, it's a liquid airbrush color, exact match of our Soft Gel Paste version.

Has anyone used the red dye when baking a red velvet cake? If so, how much was used? Thanks!

It takes approximately a teaspoon of color for a traditional red velvet cake. Of course, you can adjust this to your personal preference of shade.
