Piping Gel

Piping Gel

Notes: Piping gel can be very useful. It can be used as "glue" to adhere edible decorations together or to the cake, and for writing by either tinting the gel with color or by adding it to thin consistency buttercream.

Comment and share with others if you use piping gel for other cake decorating needs.
