I have never used Piping gel but got some on a whim from a Wal-Mart that was remodeling and had it on clearance.
What is this stuff used for exactly? For instance, I am doing a cake tonight to take to work tomorrow, nothing special, basically just a practice cake. It is for our monthly birthdays. I have everything done except for the writing. Do I just mix this with color and pipe it directly onto the cake? I already mixed some and it seems VERY runny. I am worried about it bleeding into my buttercream.
I have a very unsteady hand so I was just thinking this would help my writing but not if it's gonna bleed.
TIA!!!

It will make your writing stand out, shinny and nice. Yes, it is very thin. Use tip #1 for writing. I use a very, very small parchment bag w/just the tip in it (no coupler).
It takes color easily so you just need a tiny dab. I haven't had it bleed into b'cream.
It makes great water - ponds, etc

Thank you so much. I think I added too much coloring so I'll just mix up some more. You saved me from a night of stressing over something that probably shouldn't be stressed over anyways. THANKS!!!!!!!! 
I also use it to trace patterns onto a cake.
